Gen. Sanchez Calls for Truth Commission
---------------------------------------



Meanwhile, the former top coalition commander in Iraq, General Ricardo
Sanchez, has called for a truth commission to investigate abusive
interrogation practices. Sanchez said, “If we do not find out what
happened then we are doomed to repeat it.” Sanchez was in command of
Iraq when the infamous abuses occurred at Abu Ghraib. In 2006, a German
attorney filed a war crimes suit against Sanchez and other high-ranking
officials.
