Sivits told investigators that the abuse would not have happened had higher-ranking members been present. "Our command would have slammed us," he said. "They believe in doing the right thing. If they saw what was going on, there would be hell to pay."

This must have broken the WaPo reporter's heart to print this.

This was a group of people partying. They had access to these prisoners and decided to have some fun with them. They were not ordered to do any of this. They deserve what's coming to them.

" Sivits told investigators that the abuse would not have happened had higher-ranking members been present. "Our command would have slammed us," he said. "They believe in doing the right thing. If they saw what was going on, there would be hell to pay."

John Kerry, who was NOT there, said the abuse goes way up the chain of command , basically to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Sivit's statement makes Kerry out to be a liar.
Not that we didn't already know that.

Both Sivits and Pieron said that a sergeant first class at one point witnessed an incident and ordered the soldiers to stop. Pieron said he thought the sergeant saw Davis stepping on a detainee.

"They were surprised at how angry he was when he told them to stop," Pieron said.

Looks like this Sgt understood honor. I'll note they indicate they didn't GET it.
