"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two Iraqi prisoners were murdered by Americans and 23 other deaths are being investigated in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites), the United States revealed on Tuesday as the Bush administration tried to contain growing outrage over the abuse of Iraqi detainees."

"The prisoner abuse is so disgusting, so degrading, that I think humanity has been hurt broadly," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican. He said it could undercut U.S. efforts to bring democracy to Iraq."

I am sure that quite a few folks are thinking that the CIA is out of control, but I do not think so, at least no more than usual- particularly since 9/11.

I am sure they are under orders, and several of those type of operatives decided to be very diligent in their efforts and then maybe several dozen murders, but why be surprised?

I have this to ask Senator Frist: Do you, or anyone else, remember Ruby Ridge, Waco, and several others...
