Sen. McCain and Capt. Fishback Meet
More soldiers came forward with stories of abusing prisoners, supporting Captain Ian Fishback’s allegations of prisoner abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Captain Fishback met with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) yesterday. The only statement issued from Sen. McCain was on the integrity of the US Army officer.
“I’m even more impressed by what a fine and honorable officer he is.”
Of course, there’s always an anonymous source that will supplement official statements:
[A] senior House aide who met with Captain Fishback said the officer had read a letter from a sergeant describing detainee abuse in Iraq and allowed the aides to read the document before taking it back. The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Captain Fishback related the information in confidence for use in a possible Congressional investigation, declined to give details of the abuse.
Captain Fishback was scheduled to meet with Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) today. Levin is the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee.
