"Iraq: A New Chapter" Update

New allegations out of Abu Ghraib:

Advocates for suspected insurgents held at the notorious prison are claiming that coalition jailers have merely replaced their humiliation tactics with even more unbearable torture: fleets of Chicago ice cream trucks parked outside the facility, blaring "Turkey In The Straw" for hours.

Adding insult to injury of the male Muslim prisoners, say the advocates, is the song's acronym.

CBS Sportsline: Nineteen-year-old Miami football recruit Willie Williams was sentenced to three years’ probation… for violating probation.
