I know where Lynndie England was last January, but what was she doing?

I'm still irritated that she seems to be the poster child scapegoat for this whole thing. Like some 21 year old know nothing from BFE personally coordinated all the tortures and policies going on over there. I'm not saying she was innocent, but damn it, why aren't the people who were running the joint facing charges as well?

Slightly similar (but not really) to the idea that Janet Jackson got fined for a bare boob, but the person who ripped off her shirt faced no penalties. "A woman was involved, it's all HER FAULT!"

That is fairly amusing..but not in a good amusing kind of way. A clear pattern of abuse has now been documented along with authroization from top defense officials, and who is "guilty" of it all? One clueless girl who was stupid enough to pose for a few pix.

If I believed in the existence of a literal devil, I'd say it was his doing.

Now you've gone and reopened that wound. And I had just started to get over the trauma.

If Lynndie England is the trailer trash she appears to be, she probably isn't entirely sure of the father herself...much to the relief of several unnamed co-conspirators.

Actually, I thought it's been pretty well established that Graner is the father.
