IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR ETHICS TRAINING -- FOR BUSH AND OTHERS

GLASGOW, Scotland -- At first, as news of three new alleged atrocities by American soldiers in Iraq took over the headlines of the world, I was gratified by Washington's response: We are going to give additional "ethics training" to those responsible.

Good, I thought: Maybe at last George W., Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and all those powdered warriors will have to sit down and ponder why they got us into this mess.

Then came the dawning. It was the soldiers who were going to get this "core warrior values training" -- all 135,000 of them -- in a slideshow, yet. Just as the poor saps at the lowest levels of the military are going to jail for every sort of offense, so now the wrong people are going to be lectured about what war is all about.

First, of course, the president was described in the White House as "troubled" by the stories of al-Haditha, Ishaqi and Hamandiya. Then he uttered more of the usual recusals, in effect asserting that the atrocities did not make one inferior; that, in fact, the investigating of oneself made one superior.

"The world will see the full and complete investigation," he stated with unmistakable pride. "The United States of America has got a willingness to deal with issues like this in an upfront way, in an open way, and correct problems. And that's what you're going to see unfold."

1. The DOJ is rewriting the military code of justice and they

are conveniently leaving out terminolgy referring to torture.....fucking pathetic...

2. Ethics training for this

crew would be about as effective as cultural sensitivity training for a skinhead.
Unless of course it was done "Clockwork Orange" style then they could make enough off the video sales to pay down the national debt.:evilgrin:
