Of Cheerleaders, Pyramids and Torture
An attorney, Guy Womack, for Spc. Charles Graner, who is being court-martialed for abuse in Abu Ghraib prison, had the audacity to compare cheerleading pyramids to the naked man pyramids that Iraqis were forced to make at gunpoint.
In his opening argument Graner's lawyer Guy Womack argued that his client was only following orders and often earning praise from his superiors for his actions. He also said activities such as making human pyramids with naked hooded prisoners were acceptable. "Don't cheerleaders all over America form pyramids six to eight times a year. Is that torture?" he said.
Wonkette has a nice pictorial, so you can tell the difference when you see it.
And other titillating finds that came out of this testimony:
U.S. military prosecutors presented shocking evidence not seen before in public from Abu Ghraib prison, including a video of forced group masturbation and a picture of a woman prisoner ordered to show her breasts.
