		In an October 2003 photo, Nakhla, or Abu Hamid, as he was known by detainees, is standing near three naked male prisoners shackled together, lying on the floor.
		Nakhla watched as, he said, soldiers “handcuffed [detainees’] hands together and their legs with shackles and started to stack them on top of each other,” according to the well-known report on military abuse completed by Major General Antonio Taguba.
		While Nakhla and Graner were stationed at Abu Ghraib in 2003, the prospect of Americans being hauled into an Iraqi court seemed unimaginable -- because of the CPA guidelines, but also because the situation in Iraq was far less desperate.
