LAW AND ORDER

CIA

Those of us who faithfully watch the tv drama, and all it's spin offs, Law and Order, we are lead to believe that it isn't necessarily the one who pulled the trigger that suffers the greatest consequence of a crime, but the one who was the "master mind" behind the crime.

Now it appears that it doesn't apply to real life. Although it has been testified to several times in the court martial of the soldiers who were stationed at the prison Abu Grhaib in Iraq, that the CIA was the ones who directed and approved of the mistreatment of the detainees held there, the CIA is going to be allowed to skate free of all but one of the deaths attributed to that mistreatment. And, even in that one, the person being held, David A. Passaro, is not a CIA agent, only someone they contracted out to.

But, then they got away with the biggest criminal case to hit the US, the assassination of President Kennedy, so why wouldn't they get away with abusing prisoners.
