WE FRIED BAD APPLES for following orders!
Remember Sergeant Graener wanted to have either SecDef or Doug Feith testify at his court martial regarding the ORDERS he got

So here's the deal

If the CIA is walking... I want these ENLISTED men and women to be let out of jail, and reinstated in the army.

Either that, or we prosecute...

1. The enlisted men are the ones they send out to get shot
by bullets or otherwise. It's been going on for 200+ years around here, get used to it.

2. No they got what they deserved...
...and so must all the rest...

PFC=18 months

Sgt=10 years

Officer=Sgt x 10

Secretary of Defense= Officer x 100

Vice President= Secretary of defense x 1000

President= ?

4. Not only the CIA. . .
But how does it skip from Bush and Cheney down to a handful of enlisted soldiers - what about the officers that the enlisted soldiers were taking orders from, who were taking orders from Bush and Cheney and their henchmen?

Maybe Obama et al know what they are doing - firing up the country (or those of us who are sane anyway) to gain momentum and support to go after the bigger fish? Like Addington, Libby, Cheney, Yoo, Bybee, Gonzales, etc.? Repugs are used to sending the poor into the line of fire to do their dirty work and and take the blame as well. It's about time they finally pay, if ever.

Put the pressure on - at the very least make sure to write your elected representatives.

This torture debacle has done the country no good and only great harm. In the way of faulty information and a quid pro quo to our soldiers who are captured, not to mention our credibility as a first-world nation, has boiled up even more hatred towards us in the Arab countries, and finally, there's a little thing called humanity, human rights, and the Geneva Convention.
