Gen. Sanchez:  I support the formation of a truth commission.

In front of a packed audience tonight at the Times Center in New York City, General Ricardo Sanchez, the former commander of all coalition forces in Iraq, called for a truth commission to investigate the abuses and torture which occurred there.

The General described the failures at all levels of civilian and military command that led to the abuses in Iraq, "and that is why I support the formation of a truth commission....."

"during my time in Iraq there was not one instance of actionable intelligence that came out of these interrogation techniques."

"For the American people to really know what happened, " he replied, "...this was an institutional failure, a personal failure on the part of many...."

"If we do not find out what happened," continued the General, "then we are doomed to repeat it."

As I mentioned before, it appears that they are crawling out of their cracks now.

Looks like George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice and Mr. Rumsfeld along with many others may be needing lawyers soon.
