This is a sad story. During the morning workout of reading reports from the front, I found that one of our latest losses in Afghanistan was also a casualty of Abu Ghraib. The ghosts of prisoner abuse haunt everyone.

Godspeed to Santos Cardona.

Santos A. Cardona, an Army dog handler involved in the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, was determined to continue fighting in America's overseas battles to erase the stain of his assault conviction, his family members said.

Cardona faced a situation that most people fear ever having to face: He made decisions based on the environment and then was left to face the consequences as the authorites over him dodged the same public scrutiny. As I remember him, he was a good man and good soldier, caught in a bad situation. I am both saddened by his death and honored to have known him.
