Sympathy for Charles Graner

No one from the Bush administration has been held accountable for torture. But the guard from Abu Ghraib prison is still behind bars, and his family wants to know why.

Another Pawn of the Neo-Con? You're putting me on!

Charles Graner did what he did and he has to live with the consequences. Just because he wasn't the key in the engine, he did turn the ignition on.

That the other people were allowed to go free was a complete travesty of justice and should have never had happened. Those people should have been kept imprisoned as well.

I can't feel bad for what is being done to him. He is now a partial prisoner of Guantanamo Bay - now he knows what humiliation feels like, although not to the point that he put the true prisoners of Abu Ghraib. He is surely not being used as a toy doll, being manipulated into doing things.

Graner got what he deserved and he deserves even more for what he did. His cohorts do as well, but it looks like the ringleader is the fall guy.
