Abu Ghraib abuse ringleader released
AP via Yahoo ^ | August 5, 2011 | DAVID DISHNEAU

The convicted ringleader of detainee abuses at Abu Ghraib was released Saturday from a military prison, an Army spokeswoman said.

Charles Graner Jr., 42, was released from the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., around 10 a.m. Saturday after serving more than 6 1/2 years of a 10-year sentence, spokeswoman Rebecca Steed said. Graner will be under the supervision of a probation officer until Dec. 25, 2014, she said.

Steed said she could not release any information about Graner's whereabouts or his destination after release. Neither Graner nor his wife — who was a fellow Abu Ghraib defendant — have responded to interview requests from The Associated Press. Calls and emails to Graner's father and lawyer were not immediately returned.

Graner was an Army Reserve corporal from Uniontown, Pa., when he and six other members of the Maryland-based 372nd Military Police Company were charged in 2004 with abusing detainees at the prison in Iraq. The strongest evidence was photographs of grinning U.S. soldiers posing beside naked detainees stacked in a pyramid or held on a leash.

While I do not condone torture...playing music loud, sleep depravation and that kind of stuff is ok...and even water boarding is ok in special circumstances.

Let me see if I get this...the rag-heads chop off heads, they blow people up, they use children as bombers, they whip people etc...and that's ok with the world? But we rough up a couple of towel heads and get 10 years jail time.....SORRY don't agree at all.

Blaming Bush for this is like telling your Mother you got VD off a toilet seat...”Bullshitte”.....the PC crowd in America....is responsible for this nonsense. I’ve been witness to torture in a combat zone and this is not even a pimple on the backside of torture. Basically anyone who has not been in combat...and comments about Abu Ghraib is just a participant in idle chatter....they know nothing of which they speak....but of course here on FR...that happens quite often..

Where were you when the RINO Bush used to do his "Great Religion" sermons to us on TV, THIS Between dividing the Party (remember Amnesty)and getting Obama elected.

then for extra points, he brought in those darlings of Allah by the 1000's to infest our country!

Released already? With years to go on his sentence? Pathetic.

The shame they brought on this nation and their fellow soldiers was treasonous. The value of the propaganda victory handed the enemy was incalculable.

You are so wrong. In any other country, those criminals would not have been alive.

That victory, however, didn't belong to the perps.

That victory belonged to the New York Times and its camp-followers in the MSM.

Had they not chosen to sensationalize Abu Graibh in service to their anti-Bush and anti-American agendas, there would have been no propaganda "victory".
