At least 600 US soldiers and citizens implicated in abuse of prisoners according to new studies.

And a major scandal about to happen in America as people begin to ask questions that need to be answered.

Two stories hot off the press have caught my eye this morning.

The first tells us that a study compiled by various human rights groups implicates at least 600 US soldiers and citizens in Human Rights abuses, mostly in Iraq, with numerous cases occuring in Guantanamo Bay.

The second piece starts, "The highest ranking officer yet may soon face prosecution in the prison abuse scandal, but that could raise more questions than it answers" .

The real scandal in this piece is in who isn't going to face charges.
