Janis Karpinski, the former commander of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison who was demoted in the wake of the revelations of abuse there, tells Al Jazeera about her reaction to a report that says senior Bush administration officials were involved in approving torture.

Report also says Cheney and Rumsfeld were behing the mistreatment at Abu Ghraib.

Scott Horton, a human rights lawyer and writer on national security issues based in New York, tells Al Jazeera's Shihab Rattansi a new senate report links the White House to the abusive techniques used in US prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan.

She was fired because she claimed she didn’t know what was going on. Now she says she was only following orders.

[ken21]

yeah, right!

like dude, president bush told that stupid chick to have sex with charles.

[Congressman Billybob]

I knew this woman was an incompetent military officer, promoted above her ability, when she tried to weasel out of her responsibility as the commanding officer at the prison. Now, she talks to Al Jazeera with an entirely different excuse. This skank is unfit to be called an American.

And to Al-Jazeera no less.

Abu Ghraib amounted to nothing more than mild college hazing. No torture, no beatings, just some silly humiliation, yet the left continues it's relentless drumbeat. They really won't be satisfied until the U.S. is completely destroyed.

“They really won’t be satisfied until the U.S. is completely destroyed. “

I don’t think anything except a painful death will make them happy. Once the muzzies gain power they will get their wish.

That BITCH SHOULD have been COURT MARTIALED at the time!! She was TOTALLY INCOMPETENT.....typical.

A Senate report? How would the Senate know anything about what happened in the WH?
Looks like this is going to be the tactic of the left: keep blaming the Bush administration for everything, hold hearings for years on end, deflect attention from what’s really happening. I guess this is what it’s like to live in a banana republic.

At a CMMI inspection (conducted by the JCS) she could not account for all her panties. And now she tells us she was not involved but only followed orders.

Affirmative action at its “finest”. Just another PC promoted officer. See them all the time.

Like Meghan McCain & Levi Johnson, this creepy woman can make a fast buck dumping on Republicans.

[DannyTN]

Condoleeza approved the CIA torture methods, let’s see Obama prosecute her. It would destroy his base.

Nah, she's republican, fair game, to be ridiculed and shat upon.

[going hot]

[joesjane]

Ma’am, with all due respect...go to hell and never refer to yourself as a member of the US Army again!

[Chode]

[Kickass Conservative]

Let the Show Trials begin.

I think I need to buy more guns and ammo. How about you?

[webheart]

She’s hoping to be the first woman to be a Joint Chief.

Another lesbo - the dems are loaded with them.
