There is much to be curious over.
Seymour Hersh (yeah, the journalist who won a Pulitzer prize for his My Lai stories, the same guy Wolfowitz called "a terrorist") reports in the New Yorker that a Pentagon black ops project was formed to handle terrorist interrogation, and in fact was operating in Abu Ghraib prison. This report is going to be a showdown. Get ready to become familiar with the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Stephen Cambone, who was in charge of the project. Speaking of projects, this is another of the low-experience high-loyalty civilians grafted (so to speak) into criticial positions of authority, and another comrade from the "Project for the New American Century" . Specifically, he was the chief deputy to Douglas Feith. He's going to become rather famous rather quickly, I think, en route to his being canned. Check Alternet for a rundown.
Also, let's revisit WMD. The Pentagon is floating us a story about a "Sarin nerve-gas bomb". Reuters: "U.S. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told a news conference in Iraq that the substance had been found in an artillery shell inside a bag discovered by a U.S. convoy a few days ago. The round had exploded, causing a small release of the substance." Add to vocabulary: binary shell.
They found it in a bag, and it exploded? (I'm guessing it was detonated by the troops themselves.) It is a rather curious question where it came from.
