  He wasn't ordered to do the stuff he photographed. That's the irony. He was not an interrogator.

  Most of what he did was for his own amusement. He wasn't ordered by superiors to do these things. He did what he wanted to do to civilian prisoners. THAT should end this discussion. He's an asshole.

  He was written up in civilian life for brutality to prisoners multiple times as a civilian guard. He should have been in jail long before now. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and he got unchecked power, due to the Bush administration's destruction of the line of command. Too many civilian contractors were running around with protocol ranks. The civilians should not have been there in the first place. Graner simply took the opportunity to inflict pain in a way that gave him pleasure. The bastard gets off on inflicting pain and humiliation. He was, and is, a sadistic bastard. I hope he dies there.

  Most Salonistas have never visited anyone in prison. I have. Everyhting described here is normal. He is not being treated especially harshly. Strip searches for a former guard, who knows how to smuggle stuff in? Normal. Please. This man is no where near to being tortured.

  I agree that elements of his command should still be there. I think Lynnie England et al should STILL be in prison. I have no sympathy for him.
