It is sad that he is in prison. Its so sad for his parents. My son was held in juv det for two days, had to spend the night with the light on in a white room with the light on the first night. Stripped in and out, had to "lift up his junk" to prove he wasnt stealing a pencil. The purpose of prison is to strip you of your personhood. It is torture. When I think about if its fair that Mr Graner is is prison, I would say he should be for his crime, but prisons should do a better job correcting people's irregularitites rather than adding insult to injury.
Karma is a bitch. But, to tell you the truth, what my son and what Charles Graner is enduring is obviously a construct of this country, no one to blame but ourselves. And, we dont cuff ankles wrists in painful stress positions where one is left to deficate and urinate on the spot. I guess he can be almost grateful, its much kinder than the prison he worked for.
So, either they were ordered to committ these dispcicable crimes against humanity, or, someone was negligent in overseeing their conduct. Either way its a crime that implicates higher command.
Some heads should be rolling.
