 A Failed Investigation
 
   ADAY OF congressional hearings yesterday confirmed two glaring gaps in the Bush administration's response to hundreds of cases of prisoner abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. The first is one of investigation: Major allegations of wrongdoing, including some touching on Defense Secretary Donald H.

To use the phrase of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), this "is beginning to look like a bad movie."
