Miller Be Damned
Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the master of torture technique, takes the stand and does the honorable thing:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Army general who helped set up operations at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq has asserted his right not to incriminate himself in the courts-martial of two soldiers accused of mistreating detainees there, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.

The move by Major Gen. Geoffrey Miller is the first time he has indicated he might have information that could implicate him in wrongdoing, the newspaper said, citing military lawyers. Invoking the right does not legally imply guilt it said.

It said the action came shortly after the commanding officer at Abu Ghraib, Col. Thomas Pappas, accepted immunity this week and was ordered to testify at upcoming courts martial.
Ok. Now I'm really cornfused. Didn't Bush say that the U.S. didn't break any laws?

Maybe Miller is concerned about any future retirement travel plans he may have to countries that may not interpret the Geneva convention in *quite* the same way as Bush.
