Abuse 'By A Few' Defence Falls Apart

Everyone remembers that W offered the excuse for Abuse Ghraib that the abuse was 'by a few' immediately after the scandal broke. W blamed the troops, saying that the officers and government had nothing to do with Abuse Ghriab. The subsequent investigation conveniently confirmed W's claim.

Well, today, that Bush Story may be falling apart:

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.
Harvey Volzer, an attorney for one of the dog handlers, has been seeking to question Miller to determine whether Miller ordered the use of military working dogs to frighten detainees during interrogations at Abu Ghraib. Volzer has argued that the dog handlers were following orders when the animals were used against detainees.
