Apparently some of the lawyers for the military people who
are involved in this scandal say that the troops were just
following orders & that this treatment is part of a systematic
approach to interrogation of prisoners.
Usually the way it goes. From the people I've heard interviewed, it is NOT commonplace and standard procedure, quite the opposite. One guy I heard said that the way this broke was the someone in the platoon received the email and had a bout of conscience and turned the disc into commanding officers and the investigating committee.

I hate it when people try and pass the buck. I know that the female general in charge of the prison is up for court martial also.
