The Charles Graner saga is as old as the hills. The rich and powerful commit crimes and get away scot free, but the poor and weak do hard time. Bush and Cheney ought to be hauled before the Hague and sent to prison forever, but instead, as we all know, they will spend the rest of their lives in luxury and comfort.
Grandmaster Flash had this to say in his 1984 classic, "White Lines":
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He’s out on bail and out of jail
And that’s the way it goes
Raah!
