I personally would like to have a whole bunch of people in Graner's chain of command either in Leavenworth for the rest of their lives, or hung.
You & I know that isn't going to happen. Graner, however, is paying a price for his malicious & dishonorable conduct. The story is about him (and his family) & I think most commenters are focusing on whether or not we should have any 'sympathy' for him.
Whether we do or not doesn't change the fact that his superiors knew and approved of how he & others ran the prison.
As an ex-military officer the 'briefings' you attended would have disgusted me as well. It is clear to me that this horrible administration has put its stain on the officer corp & Pres. Obama will need to ferret out the undesirables & remove them before they can do more harm to our military.
