This lie is being spread by a former General busted down to Colonel for her role (or rather lack of one) in Abu Grabe. She is the one who let the shennanigans that gave the army such a black eye go on.

My recommendation? Comtact your congresscritter and ask why she is not being brought up on charges of conduct unbecoming.

Janis Karpinski was promoted according to PC and continues to be protected by PC. Congress won't do anything more to her.

No doubt General Karpinski used this technique and suffered substantial "brain death".

Mixing warriors and women will always lead to problems.

Karpinski testified that a surgeon for the coalition's joint task force said in a briefing that "women in fear of getting up in the hours of darkness to go out to the port-a-lets or the latrines were not drinking liquids after 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and in 120 degree heat or warmer, because there was no air-conditioning at most of the facilities, they were dying from dehydration in their sleep."

Objection, hearsay.

For example, Maj. Gen. Walter Wojdakowski, Sanchez's top deputy in Iraq, saw "dehydration" listed as the cause of death on the death certificate of a female master sergeant in September 2003.

Objection, hearsay.

Sanchez's attitude was: "The women asked to be here, so now let them take what comes with the territory," Karpinski quoted him as saying. Karpinski told me that Sanchez, who was her boss, was very sensitive to the political ramifications of everything he did. She thinks it likely that when the information about the cause of these women's deaths was passed to the Pentagon, Donald Rumsfeld ordered that the details not be released. "That's how Rumsfeld works," she said.

Objection, double hearsay and speculation.

Mock trial, indeed.

She is the one who let the shennanigans that gave the army such a black eye go on.

If I'm not mistaken, she was the general that didn't make regular, or impromptu rounds to check on things at the prison, thus the abuse. Maybe she was afraid of getting assaulted going to take a whiz. Or maybe lugging around her fat a** wore her out. In any event, this slug feces needs to bow out of history and drink her failure away.

Waste of time, there is no way to refute a lie with logic if it is believed by the ignorant lacking logic.

If and I stress "If" she's correct, why hasn't she named names of victims and witnesses? Also, where are the families of these women who supposedly died? This woman is pathetic.
