Staff Sgt. Ivan Frederick WAR CRIMINAL


http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-04-30-pow-scandal_x.htm

"Frederick wanted to document what was happening to him. Lawson and Martha Frederick, the sergeant's wife, said Frederick was being made a scapegoat for commanders who gave him no guidance on managing hundreds of POWs with just a handful of ill-trained, poorly equipped troops. "

Yeah...we didnt know what to do, so we raped them and posted brag pics on a porn site? Sorry the logic here is a bit flawed.

2. Here's a candidate for "Mother of the Year"
(snip) "A Sun reporter on Thursday showed a photo of one of the nude prisoner scenes to Terrie England, who recognized her daughter, reservist Lynndie R. England, 21, standing in the foreground with her boyfriend.

"Oh, my God," she told the newspaper from the stoop in front of her Fort Ashby, W.Va., home. "I can't get over this."

The alleged abuses of prisoners were "stupid, kid things — pranks," Terrie England said."

As the mother of a 22 year old son...I would like to think that at the very least I taught him the tenets of basic human dignity. Obviously this mother does not have a clue if she considers what her daughter did a "prank". People like this make me sick.

4. Stupid Kid Things?
Talk about minimizing. Suppose a man in Seattle took ten men hostage at gunpoint and then stripped them nude and forced them to perform any number of humiliating actions. Would this be considered a kid's prank?

No wonder the daughter turned out to be a sadistic cunt. Like mother like daughter...

5. Do we really...
need to use that word? The daughter's actions aren't wrong because she's female, the daughter's actions were wrong because of WHAT THEY WERE.
