Lynndie England in Bigger Hats

I hope the Bush administration is paying attention to last week's ruling by the 11th Circuit of the US Court of Appeals. That court reinstated a massive verdict against two Salvadoran generals for torturing civilians (including church workers) during the "dirty wars" of the 1980s. Their attorney says that "in the war against communism, they did what the United States government wanted them to do and paid them to do" (see the link above). There's that pesky Nuremberg Defense again.
