You want to have your cake and eat it too, human power

You posted that Graner is "getting exactly what he doled out" and that he is "most certainly not being treated unfairly" but then in the very next paragraph you wrote:

That said, giving him eye-for-an-eye "justice" should be beneath us. Torture should be beneath us. Selective prosecution should be beneath us....It will be a sweet day when our prisons are used for rehabilitation rather than revenge and the rule of law applies to all, regardless of circumstances.

Which sure as hell sounds like you think Graner is being treated unfairly!
