| Soldier guilty of Abu Ghraib abuse |
| 2005-01-14 |
| A MILITARY jury in Texas today found US soldier Charles Graner guilty of abusing prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. The 10 enlisted soldiers and officers on the jury found Graner, 36, guilty of conspiracy, dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and indecent acts. The charges related to incidents in which Graner beat prisoners, forced them to masturbate and piled them naked on top of each other. He did not testify before the verdict was passed, but could do so before the jury sentences him, probably later today. The court martial was held at the Fort Hood US army base in Texas. |

| #5 No Tom, I remember it well. They have to be killed in gruesome fashion, because their crimes are so much worse than rape and murder. Because they're Americans, you see. And they saw the pee-pees and poo-poos of Muslims, and in the relative moral practice of Islamic jurisprudence, this is worthy of the deaths of the instigators. Especially if they're arrogant Americans. |

| #3 There you go, Aris, justice. And pretty quick as justice goes. I know it's not on your rape and murder charges, but the prosecution and the jury did the best they could without benefit of your superior jurisprudence based on smile analysis. |

| #2 Tough to come up with a workable defence when you're guilty. Maybe he and scott can room together after their releases. |
