#1 Some women just have bad taste, Steve.

Oh, and Hitler was kind to children and dogs. SS Concentration Camp guards were often very gentle to their own families. Cherishing the lives of insects tells us nothing about the lady's attitude toward the prisoners whose lives were in her hand.

#2 My guess is that Graner, who was older than these women, played them off against one another. According to his ex-wife, he is a manipulative, charismatic man who is quite adept at both verbal and physical abuse when he doesn't get his way. but that would be AFTER he has the woman snowed ....

#3 And the women involved with him were all very young. I have complete confidence in betting that female NCOs and officers with a leeetle more time in service/time in grade had him pegged, tagged, and IDed as a manipulative POS within five minutes of acquaintence and from half a block away.

#4 I'm at a loss: just what do women see in that fellow?

Probably has a wart on it.

#6 A six-moht sentence for connecting wires? Not for electrocuting, but for connecting wires?

Does anyone know the answer to this:
Of those soldiers found guilty of negligence or criminality at Abu Ghraib, how many are women?

This campaign stinks. These soldiers do NOT deserve jail time for humiliating prisoners. Now if someone was beaten, sexually assaulted or killed, fine, give thenm a prison sentence. This is typical fall guy fare.

#7 No, Sabrina was a little more involved than just that. They also have a picture of her giving a "thumbs up" next to the battered corpse of a prisoner. (via Andrew Sullivan.)
