I am late in getting to this so I doubt you'll see this, but I still feel the need to say that you are the only truly honest person in this whole discussion. Nobody knows until they are in that situation what they would do. Nobody. Hope for the best, but being human, you probably won't make it.
Indeed, the soldiers in Iraq in 2003 were convinced that Saddam and Iraqis were responsible for the attacks of 9/11. That's what they were told and they believed it. Hell, most of America believed it (many still do). Just as many of the posters here feel Graner deserves everything he is getting, those soldiers believed the Iraqis were getting everything they deserved. Sorry, but with an attitude like that you who posted that are no better than Graner.
Having said that, Graner does not deserve to be tortured - which is what is happening to him in American prisons on American soil, though he does deserve to be punished. It is utterly despicable that he is alone in his punishment.
