Outstanding!

I read someplace that she speaks Arabic fluently. Is this the reason she was in charge? It obviously wasn't her managerial competence.

Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski

Probably promoted by Clinton in one of his affirmative action binges.

[TomGuy]

The media have been trying to skirt this issue away from Karpinski to someone higher. It doesn't seem to be working. It looks like this might land in her lap after all.

Not good for the libs on several levels. Of course, that won't stop the libs from still stirring the stink to try to pin other higher-ups.

[BlessedBeGod]

YAY !!!

[xzins]

I wonder why AP is releasing this....it's old news. In an interview on MSNBC Monday night, Karpinski said she has been told of her suspension by "several sources, but I have nothing in writing."

I believe she said the same a few weeks ago.

She screwed up. She should just accept it and shut up.

[Carry_Okie]

It's high time.

" Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski and other officers in her brigade were faulted by Army investigators for paying too little attention to the prison's day-to-day operations....."

Can anyone tell me what in blazes else did she and they have to do all day??

Sensitivity and diversity training sessions? Ensuring the integrity of the Army's gender equality program? Holding kumbayesque leadership retreats? Not asking or telling?

[Pilsner]

Karpinski has said she was being treated unfairly for acts of others over which she had no control.

Is that a confession? If she had no control over HER OWN TROOPS she ought to be relieved that alone, even if their behavior was exemplary.

[joesnuffy]

Another Dacowits 'Poster Child' fallen from grace...

The fruits of promoting people beyond their competence in the name of the femanazi marxist agenda (along with their cohorts)...

The real agenda is of course the femanization and degraded function of the US Armed Forces.
Affirmative Action...Gender Equality...Diversity.....and supression and illimination of the traditions that had served us well....in the past

Progress........

imo

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

She also has said that control of the prison was taken away from her in November 2003 when a military intelligence unit was put in charge.

Thought many of the digital pictures had a date stamp during October, not November?

"Karpinski has said she was being treated unfairly for the acts of others over which she had no control."

A general officer who was unable to unleash the hounds of hell against any miscreants operating in her domain? Thank you, feminazis and other liberals.....

[onedoug]

Not one thing she says relieves her of this responsibility.

By comparison, had she been placed in command of an aircraft carrier, she couldn't have escaped responsibility of a collision by claiming she were asleep.

I know this is closing the barn door once the horse is gone, but since I know we'll see more of Karpinski and the others, I feel I have to address this to all involved. Out of all of the high profile legal cases out there, do you see Kobe, Michael, Martha, Scott, ( or any other people with hight dollar lawyers, except Robert Blake ) flapping their gums on every talk show they can get? Just what little they have said without lawyers can and is being held against them. If something does need to be said, only their lawyers do it on TV. Isn't there a lesson there?

Any takers that Gloria Allred will pop up to offer assistance?

[SkyPilot]

The media (who have been having an orgy with the prison abuse scandal) are now in a very, very uncomfortable position.

The person who allowed this happen, on their command, is a woman and was the highest ranking female General in the theater.

This is not the aspect of the story they wish to focus on. They beat the story to death, day after day and night after night, for one reason only. They wanted to embarrass President Bush and help John Kerry.

Now that the story has become an international "Super Story", they are loathe to report on its present (but logical) condition, to wit:

- It was the US military itself that first discovered and investigated the abuse

- The individuals who committed the abuse are being brought to swift justice (contrast that with the never-ending Kobe Bryant case)

- The officer in charge is being held accountable

The media has overlooked another very important aspect during all this: The media have a terrible reputation anyway with millions of Americans. Their childish and reprehensible behavior has been akin to hitting a angry bear with a stick. People are outraged, and they are growing more so.

******
Karpinsski is clearly a democrat - or raised by democrats.

Since when does a General not have control Moron-ette? I am waiting for court martial and resulting fines and prison time - this is one whining idiot that should not get a "pass".

[OXENinFLA]

Good, now maybe she'll stay off the talkshow circit.

[bobsatwork]

......her military superiors and civilian leaders ignored her requests for more troops to watch prisoners.......That's the number one excuse from any incompetent manager: "I TOLD them I needed more people!!!".
