Never mind the fact that this Karpinski woman is stupid and vile, and constantly trying to deflect responsibility. That's a given.
But can someone explain to me why this is even a news story? I would assume we employ numerous Arabic translators for interrogations. Presumably, most are originally from Middle Eastern countries. Perhaps one was from Israel. So what? How is this any more of a story than someone involved in interrogations saying "I'm from Bahrain", or "I'm from Kuwait"?
How does the fact that one person said he's from Israel somehow imply Israeli government or military involvement or control of interrogations?
This is just rampant anti-Israel, anti-Jew sentiment, typical of the BBC and Reuters. How do they sleep at night?
When your sick, twisted gig is up, blame the Jews! That never seems to fail!
She looks familiar....ohh yeah thats right...she was on the 1976 Olympic East Germany women's shot put team....

Seriously though, she only got her star because she is a she.....political promotions do us again....didnt we learn from the Civil frikin War
The news agencies are likely just as concerned to report Israeli denials as they are to report the charges. This can be valuable to Israel if for no other reason than that Seymour Hersh was at great pains to draw attention to the fact that, among the three interrogators Taguba had in his sights, in his first report about Abu Ghraib abuses, was a John Israel. On the Charlie Rose program, Hersh even went so far as to (wink, wink) imply, in connection with his first New Yorker article, that there was Mossad engagement in the interrogations.
