there_are_no_ifs__ands_or_buts iMay232004 "There are no ifs, ands or buts," Attorney Paul Bergrin, who represents the charged MPs, Sgt. Javal S. Davis, said the soldiers were simply following the lead of military intelligence officers. Bergrin said. "They did order it. They were told consistently, 'Soften them up; loosen them up. Look what's happening in the field. Soldiers are dying in droves. We need more intelligence . . . ' "Nobody put it in writing; no one's going to be stupid enough for that. My client went to Sergeant Frederick and questioned him: 'Should we be following these orders?' And Sergeant Frederick said, 'Absolutely. We're saving American lives. That's what we wear the uniform for.'
