A US Army reservist accused of attaching wires to a hooded Iraqi prisoner did so in a joke shared with the prisoner, her lawyer said at the start of her court martial.

Specialist Sabrina Harman, who pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy, dereliction of duty and maltreatment of subordinates, also photographed abuses because she wanted to document what she felt was wrongful behaviour, Frank Spinner said.

"She was upset as early as October 20, 2003, at some of the things she was seeing. She was offended by what she saw and she hoped at some point that she could prove it," he told a jury at the opening of her trial on Thursday.

1. Yeah, I'm sure "Gilligan" (the hooded electro guy)
was yukking it up under the hood.

While I think the officers (especially the CIA dudes who encouraged this shit) should be busted, not just these grunts...

Sabrina and the others are clearly warped and sadistic.
