What bugs me most about this story is the plans to knock down the priosn. Is the $$$ to Iraq so free flowing that the US govt can spend millions to destroy and rebuild a useful building just because it brings up bad memories?
Judge calls Abu Ghraib a crime scene
BAGHDAD, Iraq-- Defense lawyers for soldiers on trial in the Iraqi prisoner abuse case won permission Monday to question two top U.S. generals, and the military judge ordered that the Abu Ghraib prison not be torn down because it is a crime scene.
Pohl postponed a pretrial hearing for Frederick until July 23, after his civilian lawyer failed to appear and the defendant refused to waive his right to co-counsel.
Pohl declared the Abu Ghraib prison a crime scene and said it could not be destroyed prior to a verdict. Bush had offered to dismantle Abu Ghraib to help remove the stain of torture and abuse from the new Iraq-- an offer Iraqi officials had already dismissed, saying it would be a waste of the building. Saddam Hussein used Abu Ghraib to torture and murder his opponents
