In a scene reminiscent of Daniel Lang's 1969
New Yorker piece, "Casualties of War" (popularized in the 1989 Brian De Palma-directed
motion picture of the same name), the Army has
apparently black-listed one of the whistleblowers of prisoner abuse at Abu Graib. This will no doubt have a chilling effect on reporting torture during war-time. It's things like this that contribute to shrouding the truth, otherwise known as the "fog of war."
