Did you all catch Taguba's aide hand the bag over to Doug Feith?

[WilliamPitt]

Way back at the beginning of his testimony, Taguba's aide stated flatly that prison and detainee policy in the "War on Terror" was set by the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. That position is held by good ol' Dougie Feith. The same Feith who operated the Office of Special Plans.

2. Pass the buck?

Toss the hot potato?

5. Hand the bag = hand the blame

A great deal of the discussion on this matter has centered around chain of command...who gave the orders, who set the policy, etc.

Feith set the policy, we discover today. We now have Feith, Rumsfeld and Boykin in the mix. Now that is one awful group of assholes.

3. I heard that on NPR on my way in

I just can't kick my habit, Bob or no Bob. :)

Wonder if it will go anywhere or die a quiet death.

4. Are you surprised that it might come from OSP?

I HOPE it did, for our country's sake.

If it's a long-standing MI practice, well, it will be an even worse time for our country.

6. I did but

it was hard for me to watch Taguba's testimony because the guy behind him had this nervous head thing going on. Looked like he was at Grateful Dead concert. I watched his head and got seasick.
