Others have said this, but Wilkerson learned of Abu Grahib in the Spring of '04. So where was he during the long summer and fall that followed? I can't salute this man's courage. It's too late.
Another point:
"But Wilkerson said bogus intelligence isn't his principal reason for coming forward -- it's the use of American forces to torture prisoners in the war that it launched."
Am I correct in inferring that Colonel Wilkerson feels greater loyalty to the military as an institution than to the Constitution? Just as his former boss feels a greater obligation to the Bush clan than he does to the country. Wilkerson's sense of shame should only be a hair less than Powell's.
Shame on them both.
