#2 Yea, Reuters would have a bugger of a time indeed figuring out why common Americans would want England's autograph. Quite frankly, I'm sick of everyone kicking this kid and our soldiers. The gov'ment would had her kissing the royal asses of the Abu Ghraib prisoners of the "wonderful Faith of Islam" and aborting her baby. I'm glad she did neither. I'm also glad she was cooking in prison, doing something productive. I'm glad she has a family supporting her, and that she's going to bible classes. Blaming England, Graner, or a squad of Rangers (the enlisted!) for misconduct is not the answer, it is sickening and disgusting. Unlike the thousands of draft dodgers that smoked pot and were pardoned after Vietnam, these young people volunteered and deployed. I suspect many US POW's would have been glad to have been photographed wearing bikini undies over their heads. At least their families would know that they were still alive.

Where were the officers? Why are there no officers going to jail?

#3 Besoeker, again you show you have probably not been in the military. Officers are responsible for what the soldiers under their command do but not to the exten (nowadays) of being criminally responsible. Lyndie England was a clerk and not supposed to be in the prison area. Her lover let her in and the results are well known. The officers whose command she was under failed to excersise proper control over their troops, but to put them in prison for soldiers who wilfully disobeyed orders is not warrented. Bust them in rank is about all that can be done.
