US troops again cited for Afghan abuse

Two US soldiers have been charged with abuse of Afghan detainees who were being temporarily held at a forward operating base in the Uruzgan province. This comes as the US is trying to calm international outrage over the burning of Taliban bodies by our soldiers last week.

Just wondering, where are the results of the Senate Armed Services Committee investigation into abuse at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prison that Senator John Warner promised America he would conduct? Warner stated his committee has a “solemn responsibility” to discover what went wrong and to "make sure it never, never happens again.” Another member of the committee, Senator Lindsey Graham stated “I think that's probably the core issue here is we just don't want a bunch of privates and sergeants to be the scapegoats.”

So – what's happening?
