U.S. military judge recommends court martial for Lynndie England

A U.S. military judge has recommended a court martial for Pfc. Lynndie England in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal but said the young army reservist was "easily led" and had been "heavily influenced" by an ex-boyfriend who is also charged in the case.

Army Reserve Col. Denise Arn, who presided over England's military pretrial hearing, recommended the Fort Ashby, W.Va., woman be tried on 17 counts, including abuse and indecent acts stemming from photographs showing her smiling and gesturing at naked and hooded Iraqi prisoners at the Baghdad prison.
