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.

    His Sentence

    Is any part of it related to his knocking-up his subordinant? Have his parents and wife chimed in on how unfair that is?

    There are real problems with the way we treat prisoners and Charles Graner's circumstances highlight a number of them. He is likely reaping what he has sown not only for his actual war crimes but for having himeself likely strip-searched prisoners kept behind glass and not let them hug their Mothers.

    I feel bad for everybody we "legally" drive mad in solitary confinement.
