Justifying Lynndie's behavior is ridiculous. I have friends in Iraq right now and the actions of these few soldiers have tarnished all the hard work and goodwill they are doing. Not in my eyes of course, but the media has had a field day with the pictures. I would like to hear her side of the story but I doubt it would make me any less disgusted by her actions and the actions of her cohorts.

I don't believe all our soldiers are "tarnished". Please tell them that for me. This nation, for the most part, still deeply respects what they are doing. Our soldiers need our encouragement now, not our sympathy for the prisoners. This is a war.
