Iraq Says No to New Prison
by TChris
Iraq's current governing council is rejecting President Bush's offer to replace Abu Ghraib with a new supermax-style prison.
President Bush's offer to demolish Abu Ghraib prison — made in a speech Monday night — found little support among Iraqis, with the head of the Governing Council yesterday calling the idea "a waste of resources."
Instead of destroying useable buildings, the governing council would prefer to change the way the prison is operated.
