The headline on FARK sums this up pretty well - "Apparently, allowing a dog to bark close to a prisoner is now torture. The west surrenders to the live TV head-hackers."
Army sergeant Santos Cardona, the prison guard at Abu Ghraib who allowed "his Belgian shepherd to bark within inches of an Iraqi detainee's face" has been sentenced to a reduction in rank and 90 days hard labour. His "crime" of permitting his dog to bark closely to the prisoner was aggravated assault.
His lawyer had this to say-
"What we have here is a soldier who let his dog get too close to a detainee, and the dog barked."
Barking is now classified as assault?
