My vengeful side remembers stories about Graner's treatment of prisoners on his "civilian" job before he was shipped overseas. Let's just say Graner isn't on my sympathetic list. He is being treated no differently than any prisoner in the country who has the misfortune of being in Administrative Segragation. having friends inside "the system" i know there are far too many guards just like him inside. karma is indeed a beeyotch.
The "all people are humans and deserve a chance to rehab ilitate" side of me is absolutely appalled at Graner's treatment, just as I am about this treatment of far too many prisoners in the US, who will one day be walking the streets I walk on, sicker, more twisted and with fewer copiing skills than when they went in. We should NOT treat people in this fashion. Crimes or not, they are still humans.
Now I do believe Graner is singled out for having been caught. Too bad the people who were giving tacit approval for this treatment are still walking free, ready to makke more graners, and worse probably working in the system making more crazy people to be loosed on the world.
