Karpinski fires a warning shot at the higher-ups who want to throw her to the wolves:

The U.S. general who was in charge of Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison said on Saturday she had met an Israeli interrogator in Iraq, a controversial allegation likely to irritate many in the Arab world.

A U.S. military spokesman in Washington said he had no information and an Israeli official denied Israel was involved.

Brigadier-General Janis Karpinski, who was responsible for military police guarding all Iraqi jails at the time prisoners were abused by U.S. troops there, told the BBC she met the Israeli at a Baghdad interrogation center.

"He was clearly from the Middle East and he said: 'Well, I do some of the interrogation here and of course I speak Arabic, but I'm not an Arab. I'm from Israel'," she said.

Well, well. And the Israelis, who also believe that we lost the Iraqi war a year ago, and have gone to their plan B, whatever it is, are also supporting Kurdish separatists.... It would be nice if the administration came clean on how tight its ties to Israel in the war are, wouldn't it? I won't hold my breath.
