GRANER

I think he got off easy, but it's still significant that he got serious time. It's also obvious that, far from being the instigator or ringleader of the torture, Graner was just an easily manipulable sadistic lunkhead bully who was used by intelligence officers (who were smart enough not to have their pictures taken) and given the green light to do what he had probably made known that he wanted to do anyway. Hopefully we'll see a few of those spooks in the dock, but I'm not holding my breath.
