Sanchez gets to retire with a nice pension while those that followed his orders get to do hard time in prison...
Great example of two things... those at the top are immune to prosecution, and those at the bottom are expendible scapegoats.

[peterbaldwin-2009]

There is little precedent of for low-level enlisted men being prosecuted for war crimes. If, at the Numemberg trials, the generals claimed that a small band of thugs at Auschwitz with a sergeant "ringleader" were the ones who should be tried for exterminating the jews there and not them, those claims would have been met with blank stares. And then if those generals complained about unfairly losing their good jobs over the extermination of jews that were not their fault (like Sanchez is doing) another round of blank stares would follow.

Sanchz needs to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to the Hague, tried, and executed for war crimes.

hmmm, that didn't read right. make that, THEY are the true torture vicitms of the world.

[bellal-2009]

huskerarmy, Alberto Gonzalez has done more than probably anybody ever to protect the children of the world from sexual exploitation who are the true torture victims.

Another scapegoat.

The military has no independent voice at the table. Rummy has made the Joint Chiefs and generals into talking parrots on his shoulder.

The grade C minus President would not listen to independent advice anyway. He always Quote listens to his gut Endquote and has no use for facts.

The lies about Iraq continue, while soldiers and civilians continue to die.

[huskerarmy]

Yet another, perhaps more deserving than some, scapegoat. Alberto Gonzales wrote the torture memo that these guys were following. Bush knew about it and approved it. The voters shall put the blame where it rightly belongs.

...another one bites the dust. Probably more deserving than not...

Maybe he'll be "rewarded" with his own TV show like Ollie North, telling Iraq war stories and Abu Ghraib prison scandal stories.

At the very least he'll be circulating around the talk shows like those Nixon Watergate guys...

Another lower ranked and soulless soldier (who was no doubt 'just following orders') takes the fall for the culture of deviant homosexual torture that CLEARLY proceed from above him.

Yes he retires; but he did 'get the job done'! It's all good.

His retirement and the imprisonment of a few low ranked soldiers are a small price to pay for the torture objectives of an administration whose behaviors appear to the world as no more civilized as those of the maniac muslims it pursues, and creates in the terrorist training ground of Iraq.
