State lawmakers react to prison abuse in Iraq

WASHINGTON -- Members of Connecticut’s congressional delegation are joining colleagues in support of a full investigation of human rights abuses at U.S. military prisons in Iraq, with U.S. Sen. Dodd, D-Conn, suggesting that the issue could be the greatest threat yet to U.S. success in the war.
Legislators -- Republican and Democrat alike -- took issue not only with troops on the ground in Iraq, but with the highest echelon of Pentagon leadership.
Dodd said the photographed abuse of Iraqi prisoners of war "goes beyond a few bad apples."
"There is clearly a problem at the top, which the Bush Administration needs to get handle on, and very quickly," Dodd said. "If that means that some high ranking officials need to be replaced, than that is a judgment which we shouldn’t dismiss out of hand."
