Abu Ghraib - under new management, but service as usual....

The scenes of torture of Iraqi prisoners by US troops in Abu Ghraib prison - well, just plain fucking disgusting. How do the Americans expect to control the country with shit like that going on? And what the Hell is this about 'Private Contractors' being used to 'interrogate' prisoners?
I understand that the soldiers who were acting as guards had received no training in their duties and that the chain of command was screwed up, with the 'contractors' having virtual carte blanche to do as they pleased. In other words, this was a consequence of the very Bushian maxim of 'by any means necessary'.
Please, please, let John Kerry win the presidential election this year - let's not have this regime of evil muppet chimps any longer.
