Shortly after Harman got to Abu Ghraib in October, her mother said, she began to take and collect pictures as evidence of the improper conditions.

Robin Harman said when her daughter told her what she was doing, she ordered her to stop. "We got into an argument about it at 4 a.m.," Robin Harman said. "Sabrina said she had to prove this. I told her to bring the pictures home, hide them and stay out of it."

Sabrina Harman brought the photographs home to Virginia in mid-November during a two-week leave. An Army investigator showed up on Jan. 16 and took a CD of photos and Harman's laptop computer, her roommate said.

Oh, for crying out loud. A "fair and impartial jury"? When has W's high command shown the least little bit of interest in such legal niceties in the current context? There's supposed to be "military tribunals", but by all indications they're just going to continue keep anybody they don't like locked up as long as they want, with no legal process whatsoever. Or did I miss something?
