Lynndie England says she loved Graner
2005-01-18
Iraqi prisoner abuse suspect Pfc. Lynndie England said in an interview with a Dutch television program aired Monday that she had been in love with fellow soldier Charles Graner when abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison took place. England, 22, of Fort Ashby, W.Va., was a prison clerk who was shown smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners, and holding one at the end of a leash, in photographs that caused international outrage. She is charged with 19 counts of abuse and faces a sentence of up to 38 years if found guilty on all counts. England gave birth in October to a son fathered by Graner, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Saturday for his role in the scandal. "He's a really good guy," England said of Graner on the television program Nova.
Sure, sure. We caught that right away. And you're a really sweet girl...
"He's very responsible, he's very trustworthy. I'm not just saying that because of the storm we're in." She said she still loves him and hopes they will someday be together again.
Maybe ten years or so. Maybe fifteen for you.
England said she had been doinking in a relationship with Graner when the abuse occurred in the fall of 2003. Asked whether she loved him at the time, she answered, "yes."

#18  #12 Sobiesky - I already know that a relative (who is willing /God Mother-Father) would be given legal custody through the court). Foster parent if nobody can take care of the boy.

Adoption- a good choice, but you would have to terminate the parental right's from both parties and I doubt that would happen ***

#16  lex, I think it's a Dutch program, not the PBS one, if I'm reading the article right.

#15  ...England said of Graner on the television program Nova.

Is this the PBS series devoted to scientific topics? WTF? Isn't there enough coverage of this already without cannibalizing broadcast time devoted to science?

#12  Andrea rhaetor dicet: What is love? and love is what it is? What is reality?

I have it from good sources that the answer is 42. It is not entirely clear, though, what is the question.

Who will raise him when both parent's are incarcerated.....for many year's

Lemme guess... two scenarios...
A) Foster homes (probably not the best arrangement but more likely)
B) Adoption (chances that kid would grow up a decent human being)

#11  # 7 & 10 What is love? and love is what it is?
What is reality? I don't feel sorry for either
of them. Upon entering the armed forces- all soldier's are educated on what is allowed i.e. abuse and the full court martial procedure.

I think the innocent victim is their little boy.

#9  Savage is either a moon howling moon bat or an agent provocateur of the left. Put him in the same cell with the Unibomber and let nature take it's course.

#8  BTW, Mike Savage of the 'Savage Nation' radio show has already started a "Free Graner" movement.

Let's put Savage in Graner's custody. Seems like fitting punishment for both of them: Savage gets the abuse he deserves and Graner has to listen to Savage.

And he couldn't possibly marry her anyway until after he divorced his current wife, and arranged for the support of his current offspring. As if someone like him would do that for someone like her.

#4  Of course she did....hence the euphemism "Love Child".
BTW, Mike Savage of the 'Savage Nation' radio show has already started a "Free Graner" movement. (And I had expected this to come from the LLL.) He also has a poll that shows way over half of the participants think that Graner didn't deserve 10 years.
Does Leavenworth have suites for couples?
