Cheerleading Pyramids

On occasion I have thought to myself, if I were to become a lawyer what would I do if I was required to defend a client that I knew was in the wrong. What would I say? How would I defend the client?

After reading a WSJ article?about the Abu Ghraib prison scandal trials I now know what not to say in?a courtroom. Defense Lawyer Guy Womak, representing Spc. Graner, said this about Spc. Graner's actions at Abu Ghraib.

"Don't cheerleaders all over America make pyramids?", "It's not Torture".

I see Mr. Womak's point. When I was in high school I remember seeing?the 35-40 year old?male teachers acting as cheerleaders, stripping nude and clammering on top of each other to make a human pyramid. Apparently Mr. Womak and I went to the same school.
