Correction: Graner gets 10 years for taking pictures of his sick antics
By convicting this sick little disgrace to the military uniform.-- We are NOT sending a message to our troops and the world that soldiers are accountable for their behavior. It shows that violating our laws and the Geneva Convention are wrong only if you are caught.
It shows that idiots that take pictures of their crimes can be convicted. Widespread allegations of abuse have been levied at more than just this idiot at his marry band of sadistic perverts. Yet, everyone else is getting a free pass to continue on with no oversite. Everyone higher up the chain of command was unwilling to testify and implicate themselves as violating rules of conduct and the Geneva convention.
Did he follow orders? How can we know! How far up did this go? Donald and George?
During his final speech Graner made the claim, "at the time my understanding is that they were (lawful), or I wouldn't have done them," The Bush administration has continued to claim that all they have done is O.K. They continue to say that secret military detention centers around the world are legal. They continue to say that what we do at Guantanamo bay is legal. But, when the truth gets out military personal may face the legal system .

I hope the Human Rights Watch and Kenneth Roth put endless amounts of pressure on the administration to clean up its act.
