Coming Full Circle in the "War on Terrorism"

From the AP:

Spc. Jeremy C. Sivits, 24, a member of the 372nd Military Police Company, will face a court-martial May 19 in Baghdad, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Sunday in Iraq...

Earlier, his father, Daniel Sivits, said his son was trained as a truck mechanic, not a prison guard, and would have gotten in trouble had he not followed orders to photograph the abused prisoners. "Apparently, he was told to take a picture and he did what he was told," Daniel Sivits told The Associated Press in an interview late last month. "He was just following instructions."

Sivits' hometown of Hyndman has about 1,000 people and is some 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. It's only about 30 miles from the field where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed on Sept. 11, 2001, as passengers fought with hijackers.

So, the Bush Administration downplays pre-9/11 terror threats, sends American soldiers to fight a war unrelated to 9/11, and then scapegoats its soldiers to save the neck of its Secretary of Defense. On whom is war really being waged?
