Iraqi prisoner torture: Blogosphere coup! Billmon reveals diary of mercenary torturer at Abu Gharaib prison 

Thanks to an alert reader and the Blessed Cache of Google, here. Turns out a winger radio personality was also a military interrogator at Abu Gharaib. And guess what: He kept a diary and posted it on the Internet!

The diary is a fascinating read - not least because it documents the fact that as of last Sunday, one of the private contractors identified in the Army's own internal investigation of the torture scandal was still at Abu Ghraib, and may still have been supervising or conducting interrogations.

The contactor's name is Steven Stephanowicz, and he works for CACI International - one of two firms that have been publically linked to the abuses in Abu Ghraib's high-security cell block.

As we've been saying: The real story is not the privates, sergeants, and specialists now taking the fall, but the mercenaries—the civilian contractors in the extra-Constitutional chain of command to CPA/RNC ....

It's also weird they'd post this stuff. Most wingers aren't that stupid. I guess it's that sense of impunity....
