Gonzales: I thought I broke up categories of abuse. The second type have been dealt with in those docuemtns. Those memos show that the reasons for the abuse was inadequate training and supervision.

Findings in 8 reports were that a great majority of our detention operations had been conducted consistent with our values and with Am. Operations. What happened in Abu Ghraib was limited to nightshift on the block. (1st category) Schlesinger report concludes this. Night shift engatges in this – Day shift doesn’t.

Human Rights blogger Ari Cover responds:

NY Times press accounts from today and the last couple - Kate Zernike reports: "The Pentagon now says 137 military members have been disciplined or face courts-martial for abusing detainees." That's not just from the Abu Ghraib nightshift. Look at the ACLU documents obtained by FOIA litigation

FBI agents have reported on instances of abuse and torture as early as 2002; The military has kept plenty quiet and secret. we are seeing this is widespread, at Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and in Iraq, not just a night shift. Hardly. This is disingenuous and a refusal to accept any responsibility or accountability
