Many Iraqis say Graner sentence too lenient
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) -- Many Iraqis reacted angrily on Sunday to news that U.S. soldier Charles Graner had been sentenced to 10 years in jail for his role in prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib jail, saying he should have faced harsher punishment.

But struggling to cope with daily violence, crime, and fuel and food shortages, and fearing more bloodshed ahead of Jan. 30 elections, most said they had paid little attention to Graner's court martial.

Some said members of Saddam Hussein's regime responsible for torture and killing at the notorious prison west of Baghdad before the U.S.-led invasion should also be brought to justice.

1. Well. I feel the same way.
He should have received life imprisonment.

However, his superiors should have charged, tried, convicted of war crimes,...perhaps even treason since they engaged in covering up breaches of the laws of the United States.
