General Sanchez wants War Crimes Truth Commission

Lindy — 6/7/2009 6:03:21 PM (archived)

Finally, something we can be proud of:

>The General described the failures at all levels of civilian and military command that led to the abuses in Iraq, "and that is why I support the formation of a truth commission. He went on to say that, "during my time in Iraq there was not one instance of actionable intelligence that came out of these interrogation techniques."

He added "For the American people to really know what happened, " he replied, "...this was an institutional failure, a personal failure on the part of many....If we do not find out what happened, then we are doomed to repeat it."

Rachel Maddow even claims "We have to rescue our institutions and restore faith in them, ith every passing day we are hemorrhaging moral energy." AND I AGREE WITH HER.
