What's wrong with this picture? Or pictures?
The soldiers knew that what they had done was wrong, Specialist Sivits told investigators, at least enough to instruct him not to tell anyone what he had seen. Specialist Sivits was asked if the abuse would have happened if someone in the chain of command was present. "Hell no," he replied, adding: "Because our command would have slammed us. They believe in doing the right thing. If they saw what was going on, there would be hell to pay."
"Don't tell anyone what you've seen. Hey, you with the camera--are you getting this bit with the leash?"
Not only perverse, but not too bright either.
This particular witness seems to think this sort of thing didn't go very far up the chain of command. We'll see what others say.
