What I'm surprised no one find outrageous in this story is that medical treatment is considered as a virtual crime, something to be kept secret from a warring side.
Denying medical treatment to the enemy is not just evil but an explicit war crime - one of the worse, for I think extended suffering is worse than death. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
Obviously no one in the Bush administration.
