8 years for Abu Ghraib soldier

I'm just writing about this because I know for a fact that this dude is not the highest ranking person involved. However, he is the highest ranking person being charged. This guy is a staff sargent. To put that in civilian terms, it's kind of like saying he's an assistant manager. This guy gets his orders from another NCO (probably a sergeant first class or a master sergeant) who gets their orders from an officer. To imply that this guy is the mastermind behind the Abu-Ghraib tortures is preposterous.

I'm not saying that the guy is innocent, or that he doesn't deserve to be punished; I'm just saying, there's no way in hell this guy is the highest ranking individual involved. It's impossible.
