insisting it was the work of only "a few people."
Karpinski, commander of the 800th Military Police Brigade, said yesterday she had been "sickened" by the pictures and had known nothing about the sexual humiliation and other violence until weeks later.
She told the New York Times in a telephone interview from her home in South Carolina that the special high-security cellblock where the abuses took place had been under the tight control of a separate group of military intelligence officers who were trying to shift the blame.
"We're disposable," she said of the military's attitude toward reservists. "Why would they want the active-duty people to take the blame? They want to put this on the MPs and hope that this thing goes away. Well, it's not going to go away.''

I agree with the President absolutely. It's disgusting. And it only took a few people to do it.
But then again, the President's only one man, and if he walks us into World War 3 ass-backwards, it could legitimately be claimed it was the "work of only one man", if there was anyone left to make the claim.
Really the only guilty party is whoever took the photographs; because without them we wouldn't have to know about what was being done. In the name of the USA.
