By putting top government officials like Vice President Dick Cheney on their witness list, England's attorneys are serving notice that in defending their client, they will attempt to put on trial the Bush administration's policies on intelligence gathering from detainees. Like most other military police reservists charged in the abuse scandal, England has claimed military intelligence officers ordered the MPs to "soften up" the detainees prior to interrogations.

2. Go down the drain and take superiors with them

While "they were just following orders" is no excuse, they WERE following orders and need to make sure they identify who gave those orders. Those superiors should be prosecuted with equal zeal.

and the superiors who ordered them to do this

Maybe some public service time caring for sick and injured Iraqi children (closely supervised by doctors, however)
