Pretty grim reading. Although the really scary bit is the guy who claims that he didn't know he was doing anything wrong because he hadn't seen the Geneva Convention rules until he was charged.

He needed the Geneva Convention to tell him that these things were wrong? Things like attaching wires to prisoners and threatening them with electrocution...? Yeah, right.
