In case you missed this, just out online at the New Yorker

Seymour Hersh and former Army Major General Antonio M. Taguba in this
week's New Yorker For the moment, probably the closer we are going to get on
Bush's Torture Mafia. Scary stuff. A bunch of Pentagon people (Rumsfeld,
Cambone, Miller, Bush et al) here who clearly should be 'taken in' and fully
exposed for 'high' crimes in their blind pursuit of 'terror'. Until they are
brought to some form of real justice - nationally and internationally, I
suspect this country will continue to endure and project a long, dark
blemish of itself - domestically and externally. Currently, it seems to me,
we live in the eternal Pinochet moment.
Anyway, the piece is much worth the read. And, at least, people such as
Taguba are beginning to out their so-called "superiors."
