#1 The ringing you hear is my BS detector going off. And how does Herr Graner feel about the suggestion that his honey, Lynndie, was only pretending to enjoy herself??

#2 Womack's a defense attorney defending a client against charges of war crimes in the face of photos of their commission. He's expected to spew bullshit.

#3 Just a reminder: when they write this project up initially as a proposal, their lawyer is supposed to review it and give his assessment. So, if there were 'gray areas' he would warn them up front so that they would be alert to that consideration. I don't think this project was CIA, but there are about a half-dozen other intel organizations I think could be involved. I expect they somewhat follow The Company's procedure about first vetting it with their lawyer.

Another issue which I notice about this situation is that it seems difficult to support a claim of humiliation when you are hooded so that your identity cannot be determined. And I suspect their lawyer may have touched upon this facet.
