Eleven low-ranking soldiers have been convicted as a result, and two commanders, both senior to Jordan, have received administrative punishments.

As the Church Lady sayz... "How Conveeeeeennnient!"

Lt. Col. John P. Tracy, the lead prosecutor, said yesterday morning that Fay contacted authorities over the weekend to say that while going through papers in preparation for trial he realized he had never read Jordan his rights during interviews. A military judge ruled yesterday that Jordan's statements to Fay now cannot be used in the case.

Jordan now faces up to five years in jail, but like most of the others eleven soldiers who pleaded guilty, Jordan will probably serve very little time. Other sentences ranged from a few hours of community service to 10 years in prison. The architects of the torture manuals like Gonzales and Rumsfeld are rumoured to be serving a life sentence of being a douche.
