Guardian: "One of the soldiers, Staff Sgt Chip Frederick is accused of posing in a photograph sitting on top of a detainee, committing an indecent act and with assault for striking detainees - and ordering detainees to strike each other.
He told CBS: 'We had no support, no training whatsoever. And I kept asking my chain of command for certain things ... like rules and regulations.'
His lawyer, Gary Myers, told the Guardian that Sgt Frederick had not had the opportunity to read the Geneva Conventions before being put on guard duty, a task he was not trained to perform. "
Not having been taught the Geneva Conventions, how could he possibly have known that it was wrong?
Remember, they hate us for our freedoms.
