Sympathy for Charles Graner No one from the Bush administration has been held accountable for torture. But the guard from Abu Ghraib prison is still behind bars, and his family wants to know why. By Mark Benjamin [2008-12-01]

• @ Human Power

  If "torture should be beneath us," why do you feel Graner is not being treated unfairly (ergo, he *is* being treated fairly)? Isn't Graner being tortured? I believe he is.

  I am convinced that Graner is a pawn and a victim of the Bush Administration, not unlike those he tortured. If you haven't already done so, it would be instructive to look at what others have said about the parallels of Abu Ghraib and the Stanford University Prison Experiment. Here is a good site:

  Take a moment and consider (or reconsider) some basic aspects of human behavior as it relates to the roles, expectations, and behaviors we humans perform within our circumstances, then decide if Graner is being treated fairly.

  I wish you all (including Graner and his family) PEACE~
