One "bad apple" gets 2 charges dropped

2 charges dropped against Abu Ghraib officer - CNN.com

Two charges dropped on a technicality:
"The charges against Jordan were tossed when it was learned Jordan was not read his rights before an interview with Maj. Gen. George Fay, his superior officer." As if he didnt know LIEING to a superior is a dischargeable offence.
"The prison scandal surfaced in 2003. Photos shot inside the Baghdad prison -- which were leaked to the news media -- showed cases of torture and sexual humiliation, and brought global condemnation."

Now here is the funny part:

"Seven low-ranking guards and two military intelligence soldiers -- described by then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as "bad apples" -- were disciplined after the scandal surfaced"

Rummy who ordered the abuse now backs away and leaves the grunts to take it alone. What a guy!!! Even W fired Rummy. That there says loads! Bush isnt in the top 10 (he is actually in the 29th percentile )

He is still up on 4 charges; I'm sure he'll wind up in the brig with the rest of the "bad apples".
