I'm sorry if the connection seemed obvious to me.... but there have been a number of news reports recently that this treatment of prisoners extends all the way back to Afghanistan. It makes a ton of sense that in those first months after September 11th that various people may have decided that the old rules regarding intelligence gathering needed to be changed.... especially if increased intelligence could lead to information that would prevent the next September 11th. It isn't a huge mental jump to connect the dots from there.... especially since the accused soldiers' primary defence so far has been that they were acting under orders from intelligence personnel.
