[Tyranny]

In the Pentagon's Dungeon

Just a quickie, since it's on-topic. A committee of the House today issued a subpoena to Don Rumsfeld (subscription only) for documents related to the Pentagon's retaliation against the soldier that outed the US on Abu Ghraib.

A spokesman for the Pentagon, Lt. Col. Mark Ballesteros, said officials had provided most of what the committee requested and would provide more on Friday— although, he suggested, not necessarily everything the panel seeks.

A military that commits, then hides, war crimes, and punishes those who try to hold it to legal norms. Yup, tyrannical.
