The New York Times takes President Bush to task for his failure to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. But at the end, it inexplicably gives him another chance:

When the Abu Ghraib prison scandal first broke, the Bush administration struck a pose of righteous indignation. It assured the world that the problem was limited to one block of one prison, that the United States would never condone the atrocities we saw in those terrible photos, that it would punish those responsible for any abuse - regardless of their rank - and that it was committed to defending the Geneva Conventions and the rights of prisoners. None of this appears to be true.

After citing numerous examples of those who have not been held accountable, the Times moves on to Bush's secret creation of a "parallel and unconsitutional judicial universe" at Guantanamo.

The White House was so determined to suspend the normal rights and processes for the hundreds of men captured in Afghanistan - none of them important members of Al Qaeda and most of them no threat at all - that it hid the details from Secretary of State Colin Powell and never bothered to consult Congress.

From there the Times recounts recent revelations of the Administration's transporting prisoners out of Iraq and hiding them from the Red Cross.
