...Testimony got under way Monday after opening statements in which [Spc. Charles] Graner’s military attorney, Guy Womack, defended the practices shown in the notorious [Abu Ghraib] photos as legitimate prisoner control techniques. Prosecutors also showed video previously not made public of a group of detainees being forced to masturbate...
In his opening arguments, Womack said using a tether was a valid method of controlling detainees, especially those who might be soiled with feces.
“You’re keeping control of them. A tether is a valid control to be used in corrections,” he said. “In Texas we’d lasso them and drag them out of there.” He compared the leash to parents who place tethers on their toddlers while walking in shopping malls.
Referring to stacking the prisoners, Womack said: "Don't cheerleaders all over America form pyramids six to eight times a year? Is that torture?"
We know about the glowsticks, but where'd they stick the pom poms? The "Cheerleader Defense". Now that's original. I'm sure Hannity and OxyMan are all over it.
Update: Here's another even more enraging report on this soulless bastard.
