Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass) made a very eloquent and compelling speech concerning U.S. human rights abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan, on this, the one year anniversary of Abu Ghraib.
Drudge has the full context of his speech.
Essentially, Kennedy indicts the administration dealing with this scandal, and the war at large. He further blames the Republican Congress for abdicating their responsibility to hold the Executive branch accountable. He then calls for an independent commission to get to the bottom of this.
It is a very well-written speeach. Rarely do I find myself agreeing with Kennedy, though, his motives aside, he puts to the forefront an issue we must deal with.
Let the spin and political fallout begin.
