Hard on the heels of Amnesty International's report of more torture, we have this...
oh, ok... the general takes the 5th amendment... ain't it interestin' how the constitution gets used when it happens to be CONVENIENT...?
let's stay very clear here... right from bush's memo waiving the geneva conventions and absolving himself from any responsibility to observe the u.s.-signed u.n. ban on torture and the use of information obtained via torture down through rumsfeld and the interrogation guidelines written by general ricardo sanchez, the entire chain of command is fully accountable... there just ain't no gettin' around it...

Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, a central figure in the U.S. detainee-abuse scandal, this week invoked his right not to incriminate himself in court-martial proceedings against two soldiers accused of using dogs to intimidate captives at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to lawyers involved in the case.
The move by Miller -- who once supervised the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and helped set up operations at Abu Ghraib -- is the first time the general has given an indication that he might have information that could implicate him in wrongdoing, according to military lawyers.
