I commend her openness after the fact, but if memory serves she also said Rumsfeld left notes on her door to take off the gloves, or something to that effect.

What did she know, and when did she know it?

4. It makes me sick

Janis Karpinski, Charles Graner, Lynndie England were allowed to be scapegoated for this while members of our government knew full well the actions of these soldiers were approved by Rumsfeld. Sold out by their own damn country...it's just sickening.
