Lynndie is a scapegoat.
Middle class college girls engage in the same behavior--and worse--every weekend at the frat house.
It's stupid and vulgar, but not criminal.
Unless you are in the U.S. military. Then its illegal. She violated the Geneva Conventions...PERIOD! She got what she deserved.

I miss being in college.
At risk of stating the obvious, middle class college girls aren't subject to the UCMJ.

Actually, I believe she's being made an example. By politically embarassing her CiC, she (and others) endangered public and congressional support for our initiatives in Iraq and, by extension, our national security in an age of terrorism. No matter what the hijinks of college girls in frat houses, they do not have these effects. Nor are college girls in frat houses subject to the oath taken by anybody in uniform or to the UCMJ, whose provisions definitely identify LE as a criminal.
What those idiots did to ruin the credibility we so desperately tried to gain from the Iraqi people damn sure is criminal. A fitting punishment should be to send all of them back to Abu Gharib and let them spend the next 20 years doing 16 hour days cleaning out the shitters. They are an absolute disgrace to the uniform they wore and to the Army they represented.
I'll trade you one Cindy Sheehan for Lynndie England. If you press me, I'll throw in Barbara Jackson Lee.

Middle class college frat sluts usually aren't subject to the UCMJ . . .
