It just keeps getting uglier

vAnd I don't expect we're ever going to be witness to the worst of it.

Follow up to my previous post:

Prosecutors unveiled new graphic photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison on Monday as they tried to portray the soldier accused as the ringleader of the abuse scandal there as a sadistic thug who punched detainees for sport, posed smiling next to the bloody face of a detainee and bragged about forcing an Iraqi woman to let him photograph her naked.

[...]

But prosecutors called soldiers who testified that Specialist Graner had laughed and joked as detainees moaned, screamed and begged him to stop beating them.

A source close to the case said prosecutors had discovered more than 2,000 e-mail messages that Specialist Graner had sent home, sometimes attaching pictures of detainees and boasting about how he had disciplined them, suggesting one had been "a real upper body workout." In none of those e-mail messages did he mention being ordered to commit any of the abusive acts, the source said.

[...]

Asked to explain photos of detainees masturbating, Private Frederick said Specialist Graner "said it was a present for our birthday."

[...]

Explaining a new video that shows a detainee writhing as Private Sivits tries to cut off a pair of handcuffs, he said Specialist Graner had attached them so tightly, the detainee's hands were turning purple. "I personally thought he was going to lose his hands," he said.

Didn't see anything wrong with that either. Maybe Mr. Bush could explain it to him. (I wonder if Marvin's Angels would have been willing to have those hands replaced.)

The jury, all men, listened intently to the testimony. Specialist Graner betrayed little emotion inside the courtroom but smiled and joked outside. Walking in Monday morning, he told reporters: "We're going to find out what kind of a monster I am today."
