one of the guards talks about funtime at abu ghraib prison

Sivits said Frederick seemed "mellow" as he hit prisoners and watched other guards join in. "He was really not saying too much. Just kind of enjoying it," Sivits said.

He described Pfc. Lynndie England, the woman seen smoking and smiling in some of the photos, as "laughing at the different stuff that they were having the detainees do."

England has contended that she was ordered to pose in front of the abused inmates.

Sivits said Spc. Sabrina Harman, seen next to a pile of naked male prisoners, was sometimes smiling, but "there was a few times she had a look of disgust on her face."

"She did write the word rapist on the side of the leg of one of the inmates. She did this after she had found out from the processing sheets that he had raped someone. She wrote it with a dry erase black marker," he added.

The one defendant Sivits did not mention was Spc. Megan Ambuhl. She is not seen in any of the photos yet made public, and a military hearing officer has recommended that two of the four charges filed against her be dropped.

"Their weakest case involves her," said her lawyer, Harvey Volzer. "She was just watching. Nevertheless she is worried about having a conviction, which would basically be for guilt-by-association."

Sivits emphasized that it was Graner and Frederick who led the guards in nightly revelries.

1. Harman: Could torture but not spell.
I remember she did not write rapist, she wrote "rapeist."

2. The coverup is WELL underway... no doubt
his plea deal includes a little money in a bank account somewhere.

The problem is 'the leakers'... people motivated by revenge or honor keep letting stuff slip out.

Curiouser and curiouser.

3. Definately curiouser and curiouser.
In a train wreck sort of way it does make one wonder what we are going to be seeing next.
