...accused insist that military intelligence and civilian interrogators told the low-ranking MPs to soften up prisoners before they were questioned and that the unit was just doing the job. Guy Womack, Graner's civilian attorney, gave TIME copies of two photos he intends to use to defend his client, who was formally charged last week on seven counts of maltreatment and committing indecent acts. According to Graner, the photos, taken from a vantage point above graphic scenes previously made public, show two more sergeants from the 372nd and four military-intelligence officers watching with him as a chubby...
...ever to sweep the 20 km and 50 km. "I needed a huge challenge after Seville," he says, "something to help me forget." In Athens, he'll defend his 50-km title. His race starts Aug. 20. Yes, that's right: the Olympic calendar may say Aug. 27, but for the planning-obsessed Korzeniowski, "it actually starts a week before." The 50-km race is so grueling, he says, that it will punish those who don't prepare fully during that last week, from tracking the weather in preparation for the heat and humidity to making race weight...

They do not deserve to have U.S. soldiers fighting for them. The Iraqi men who were trained to protect and defend their people tuck tail and run. Not one American life is worth the so-called liberation of Iraq. If the Iraqis don't want to defend their country, why should we? How can you win the hearts and minds of the heartless and mindless?

Saddam Hussein does not appear to be lacking in lawyers willing to defend him when he is tried for war atrocities and crimes against humanity, presumably in Baghdad next year. "I've had about 1,500 lawyers ask me if they can join my team," says Mohammad Rashdan, 55, a Jordanian lawyer retained by the ex-tyrant's first wife Sajida, who is exiled in Qatar. "Every time I go to court, lawyers come up and ask me if they can join the defense." But that might be a little premature: the job isn't Rashdan's quite yet. French...
