...mere frolics compared to No Country For Old Men-a grim, mostly enthralling version of Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel about $2 million in missing drug loot. For most of its 122-minute running time, this is a gnarly action movie, a duel between a kind-of-good guy (Josh Brolin) who finds the stash, and an implacable monster (Javier Bardem) who's pursuing him and leaving a heap of corpses along the way. Toward the end, when an aged, seen-it-all sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) takes center screen, the film runs itself off the rails-willfully refusing...

According to testimony from another accused abuser, Sergeant Javal Davis, military-intelligence officers essentially egged the guards on: "Loosen this guy up for us. Make sure he gets the treatment." Davis testified that military-intelligence officers praised Specialist Charles Graner, another of the accused, for his efforts, using "statements like 'Good job, they're breaking down real fast...
...Several hours later, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, then the top officer in Iraq in charge of detention, encountered Pappas. "His face was completely drawn, no expression, blank, ashen color. He said in a very flat voice 'They killed my driver, the guy never did anything wrong,'" Karpinski told TIME. "He was in total shock. It wasn't anger, it was beyond anger - he just looked lost, he didn't know what...
