"..As of this writing, Army Sgt. Charles A. Graner, Jr., one of the soldiers court martialed, seems to have defined his defense. His lawyer appeared on one of the many news programs last week and explained that Sgt. Graner was ordered to do the things he did by a superior, someone he could only identify as “Big Steve.” Who Big Steve was he did not know. And oddly, neither does Sgt. Graner..."
It could be that "Big Steve" is a total fabrication by Graner. Also, General Sanchez is so high profile over there that someone would recognize him if he came to the Prison.
I think Graner would know if Gen Sanchez was present.....sheeeesh!
In late January, 1997, Guy Lee Womack, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, resigned his office and agreed to pay a $5,000 civil fine. Womack confessed that he used his office to promote the Quadro Tracker®, a bogus drug and weapon detecting device. He paid $13,600 for distribution rights in Alabama, Arkansas, New Mexico and Wyoming and hosted meetings with investigators in Houston to show how the device worked (Richard Stewart, "Tracking-device sellers cleared of fraud counts," Houston Chronicle, January 30, 1997, p. 21A).

The men were indicted on August 21, 1996 for deceiving customers into buying what they knew was a worthless device. Prosecutors claimed that the Quadro Tracker® was just a radio antenna attached to a hollow plastic box containing "chips" constructed of paper and plastic. The device was sold primarily to law enforcement agencies and school districts. Sales of the Quadro Tracker® were enjoined in April 1996 by U.S District Judge Thad Heartfield, who cited the fraudulent nature of the device.
Oh sorry... I was being sarcastic. I read Tammy's article also last night, and thought it was pretty funny. I was wondering aloud if they were going to try and link the two.
