Injustice is...

a form of torture.

If you've been following the recent Abu Ghraib trials, you may wish to note that Army Lt. Col. Jordan was acquitted today, in a military court, of failing to control his subordinates, but convicted of a lesser charge of not following an order.

Now that Gonzales has "resigned" as attorney general, it's time for Congress to ensure that crimes against humanity, like those committed at Abu Ghraib, make it to civilian courts, too, where this army officer Jordan might justifiably have been convicted on all counts.
