1. I wondered when I read this
if this means that she'll get out of being charged? I certainly hope not.

3. Brig. Gen. Janice Karpinski
Was in charge of the prisons. I hope her head will roll. She is general and tolerated this behavior. She is a disgrace to this entire country.

6. one again, she is a general. she is responsible. if she felt she needed

9. hey.........i am a believer everyone gets to own their part
and what fool gives someone a position they have no experience with. she gets to pay her price, the soldiers that did this gets their. the soldiers that didnt participate but stay quiet gets theirs. and the people that put her here and didnt supervise gets theirs. and bush gets his cause he is ultimately responsible. the buck stops there. he gets voted out

i am saying the absurdity giving such an important job to someone with no know, is bad

isnt it foolish for higher ups to have given her this job. i think it is. indicitive of the whole mission

13. You think they told her to look like she was really enjoying
posing with the prisoners?

Either she's one helluvan actress, or she really was getting off on what was going on.

She's a sicko.

4. thanks for posting the Hersh link - after looking at the New Yorker pics
I have to ask why is the male US soldier wearing what look to be surgical gloves? And, the female US soldier is not just pointing at the prisoners (according to the New Yorker description), she's mimicking shooting a gun/rifle at them.

11. Lynndie England would give a wink to her buddies
when an Iraqi was getting a woody and then give a big thumbs up that mission was accomplished.

I hope everyone reads Seymour Hersh's article in it's entirety.

Hate to be married to a women like Ms. England!!

14. war criminal LYNNDIE ENGLAND "he's getting hard"
At the Article 32 Hearing (like a grand jury hearing) Specialist Matthew Wisdom, an M.P under
oath stated

Wisdom said:
SFC Snider grabbed my prisoner and threw him into a pile. . . . I do not think it was right
to put them in a pile. I saw SSG Frederic, SGT Davis and CPL Graner walking around the
pile hitting the prisoners. I remember SSG Frederick hitting one prisoner in the side of its
ribcage. The prisoner was no danger to SSG Frederick. . . . I left after that.
When he returned later, Wisdom testified:
I saw two naked detainees, one masturbating to another kneeling with its mouth open. I
thought I should just get out of there. I didn’’t think it was right . . . I saw SSG Frederick
walking towards me, and he said, ““““Look what these animals do when you leave them
alone for two seconds.”””” I heard PFC England shout out, ““““He’’’’s getting hard"

20. I wonder if a child welfare department
could use these photos as proof that she is unfit and yank her kid upon birth.

I fear for this.... thing's child.
