Wikileaks has released 400,000 secret US Army field reports from the Iraq conflict. The UK Guardian has extensive coverage of what’s included in them, and it’s stomach-churning stuff. Why am I linking to a UK news source rather than, say, the New York Times? Because The Times won’t use the word torture, and honestly, I’m tired of it.
