#1 A defense attorney for Davis, Paul Bergrin, said he wanted court members to see Abu Ghraib for themselves, the Reuters news agency reported. "We want the court members to smell the fecal matter and the urine that service members who worked inside that prison and who are accused in this case had to live with," he said.

Because the smell of shit and piss drives people to cruelty. That's why Graner was a wife-beater in the states, why he was doing things like putting pepper spray in people's coffee -- his septic tank kept backing up.

The smell of shit and piss is why England disobeyed direct order and kept screwing around, no doubt.

#2 Oh! More of Mike's creative editing! Why did you edit the end of that last sentence, Mike?

The 6,000-page report found evidence of what it called "sadistic" abuse of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, a sprawling complex west of Baghdad.

Oh, and get a load of this gem:

Guy Womack, a civilian defense attorney for Graner, told reporters that his client is being made a scapegoat.

"No one can suggest with a straight face that these MPs were acting alone," Womack said.

Then they should NOT have gotten the Taguba report into the record. The psychologist's opinion that it's a CLASSIC EXAMPLE of an unsupervised group run amok is not gonna help their Nuremberg Defense.

#3 Mikey loves to creatively edit what others say. He can't find stuff to fit his weird views, so he makes them up!

There has got to be a term for someone who does that.

#5 RC, were you being sarcastic in the first post? OR is that just Mike impersonating you?

#6 I was being sarcastic, mocking the defense attorney's whine.
