You are correct. Even if it can be proven that he was obeying orders...from whomever...military and/or civilian intelligence officers...he will be convicted for obeying what would not be legal orders...but if he can prove that he was obeying orders...it should help to mitigate is sentencing.
The reason I stated that this trial "could become a little interesting" is if he can prove that he was following orders...which I really doubt that he can.
As far as I know...at this point no one has been charged with issuing the orders that he claims he was following.
I suspect he and the handful of others were just fuckup's that had a little power and they abused it...as often happens in prisons in the US.
