Blame the Grunt?

Here's a good discussion of the blame the rogues line that is being put forth by the administration and its supporters on the Iraq prison torture scandal. In the pictures and in a new article by Sy Hersch the idea that this all could go on without higher ups knowing is challenged.

The people that did this should be prosecuted. The people that ordered the troops to "soften" the prisoners up should be prosecuted and receive even harsher terms. The people, the Bush administration, who called for the invasion are ultimately the one's most responsible for this atrocity.
