#3 Uh, Lynndie, you moron, it was the defense attorneys that "leaked" the pictures to the media.

#4 The investigation was completed and briefed to the MSM in January, papers prepared in February, proceeding started in March and April. In desperation the attorneys and family were 'somehow' able to make it all 'public' just in time for sweeps month broadcast on 60 minutes. Unlike most other institutions, the military was indeed efficiently cleaning their own house of bad people.

#5 The reporter may as well as asked her how cold fusion works. The girl is borderline retarded. She doesn't understand anything.

#6 Well welcome back, Lynndie. Will this interview cover the down payment on the doublewide?

#7 I wonder how many of you lovely, highly educated folks that are referring to England as a retard, moron, trailer trash, whatever....have ever pulled on a pair of boots and spent time in a combat theater of operation? I'll stick with the soldiers and young Lynndie England. Had her chain of command been watching soldiers like they were supposed to, things might have been a bit different. My comment on the dog bite still stands. I'd much rather be bitten by a hond than blown up by a VBIED or vest bomber.

#8 20 B'. And she's an adult. Had to be one to sign on. If she and the others needed a nanny, they were in the wrong profession. She found that out.

#9 I feel sorry for Lynndie England. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, granted, but she did try to serve our country and better herself in the process. The fact that she was foolish enough to be led astray by Graner and then got made the poster girl for the Abu Ghraib problems shouldn't obscure the former.

Anyone who doesn't think Abu Ghraib was deliberately exploited and aggrandized to the nth degree by the internal traitors and our external enemies is delusional. It simply wasn't as bad as it was painted. England spent 18 months in jail. Graner is doing ten years. Hell, gang-bangers KILL people and get less time than that. Remember: nobody died in the Abu Ghraib incident. Some people were humiliated but that beats the hell out of the way Saddam used to take care of such problems. We're still digging up his mass graves.

#10 I feel sorry only for the baby that was made that night. What a screwed up situation.
