In this undated file photo obtained by ABC news and allegedly taken by Sgt. Charles Frederick, Army Spc. Sabrina Harman, of the 372nd Military Police Company, poses with the body of Iraqi detainee Manadel al-Jamadi who is packed in ice at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq. In the years since the Sept. 11 attacks, CIA officers who committed serious mistakes that left people wrongly imprisoned or even dead have received only minor admonishments or no punishment at all, according to an Associated Press investigation.

While some of the lower level people involved in torture have been punished, the people who ordered it are still running around free and bragging about the torture they ordered or approved. Well, free inside the USA. There are some European countries that are indicating that they might arrest them. And the CIA officers who have messed up severely over the last nine years - generally no punishment or accountability for them either. One exception is the CIA folks in Afghanistan who brought in a guy to report on Pakistan... he turned out to be a double agent and blew himself up and killed several CIA agents.
