No Regrets, Says Disgraced Graner
 Charles Graner, 36, the convicted ringleader in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, remained defiant after being sentenced to 10 years behind bars on Saturday, insisting he had only been following orders.

As he was led from his court martial in handcuffs and leg irons, Graner, answered "No" when reporters asked if he had any regrets. "I was a soldier. If I did anything wrong, here I am," he added, holding out his shackled wrists.
