The Hero of Abu Ghraib 

You know how Lambert's been asking lately when they're going to give Joe Darby a medal for blowing the whistle on the atrocities at Abu Ghraib?

When he saw the horrific abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, Joe Darby knew he had to blow the whistle. But coming forward would change his life—as well as his family's—forever, and for the worse.

Digby's Hullabaloo gets love for turning this one up. This is a MUST READ and I don't say that often.
