General Ricardo Sanchez, the former top U.S. commander in Iraq, calls for a truth commission to investigate the Bush/Cheney administration's torture policies. Via Think Progress:
The General described the failures at all levels of civilian and military command that led to the abuses in Iraq, "and that is why I support the formation of a truth commission."
The General went on to say that, "during my time in Iraq there was not one instance of actionable intelligence that came out of these interrogation techniques."
I interviewed General Sanchez after the event and asked him to elaborate on why he felt the US needed such a commission. ... "If we do not find out what happened," continued the General, "then we are doomed to repeat it."
Doomed to repeat it -- it's just that simple.
