Is this the statement of a traitor? Or patriot? We report, you decide.
“We would, in 2003 and early 2004, collect up huge numbers of Iraqis and put them in Abu Ghraib. The number eventually grew to over 13,000. Probably 99 percent of those people were guilty of absolutely nothing, but the way we treated them, the way we abused them turned them against the effort in Iraq forever…I have personally seen examples where, because of these watered down (interrogation) rules, I consider to be on the one hand unlawful, on the other hand certainly ambiguous and changing all the time -- as a result of that, great Americans, servicemen and women, are doing unconscionable things to the people we detained. And as I said, in most cases, guilty of nothing other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
--General John Batiste, Sept. 25, 2006, Bush's former commander of U.S. Army 1st Infantry Division in Iraq, and lifelong republican.
