Debunking the Deranged Charges by Media Darling Col. Karpinski

Let's see... the media needed to find someone to play along with their Haditha madness so who better than the... discredited, delusional, blaming, angry, and paranoid Colonel Janis Karpinski of Abu Ghraib fame who has mysteriously moved from villainess to hero in the eyes of the mainstream media.

Well, maybe not so mysterious since Karpinski is now a crowd favorite for the Far Left enthusiasts.

Colonel Karpinski is a definite crowd pleaser with the anti-war crowd for her strange attacks on the military and Bush Administration.

Conyers. of course

Not surprising. She was clearly one of those women who made their careers in the Clinton years, when there was a lot of pressure on the military to promote women and minorities.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I loved her “Putting on the Ritz” duet with Gene Wilder.

[TADSLOS]

She has the Komrade attire down pat.

[TADSLOS]

LOL!

General Janis Karp-dyke-ski.

[seatrout]

How did this hack even get a commission, let alone a general’s star? I know the old saying that “scum rises to the top”, but got-damn!

[Ulysse]

McCARTHY COME BACK !

And ,as an officer was she ever investigated ?
If she was,why was not she fired?

[DarthVader]

Karpinski is probably persona-non-grata amongst most rank and file military officers today.

[scooby321]

affirmative action promoted. She lost control.

Karpinski is probably persona-non-grata amongst most rank and file military officers today.

Probably? LOL! How about without a doubt?

The RCP, on their website, calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government.

You mean, they have not changed that now that "their" guy is in?

[ETL]

They probably think he's not moving fast enough in the "progressive" direction.

"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."

Very nice work.

All crimes can be forgiven - even the much-decried abuse of prisoners - if you work to advance the interests of the Party.

She was. She was reduced in rank from Brigadier General to Colonel.

Tanks! You don’t do bad work yourself! :)

Karpinski will get even by any legal means practicable. She should have been discharged when they caught her shoplifting.

Bush OKs General's Demotion

"..A U.S. government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Karpinski was accused of shoplifting a cosmetic item from a shop at a domestic Air Force base while she held the rank of colonel. Karpinski did not report her arrest for this misdemeanor on a later background check, the official said. In an interview with CBS News last year, Karpinski denied shoplifting..."

[Jonah Hex]

She was. She was reduced in rank from Brigadier General to Colonel.

Yep. And she's a shoplifter.

Karpinski was demoted to colonel last week after the Army's inspector general investigated four allegations against her, including: dereliction of duty, making a "material misrepresentation" to investigators, failure to obey a lawful order and shoplifting. Only the shoplifting and dereliction of duty allegations were substantiated.

Conyers. of course

Judiciary Chairman Conyers Issues Report Documenting Bush Abuses, Calling For Further Committee Investigation, Blue-Ribbon Panel, and Criminal Probes

For Immediate Release
January 13, 2009
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey, Lillian German

(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. released a nearly-500 page report documenting numerous abuses and excesses of the Bush administration. The report, titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," contains 47 separate recommendations designed to restore the traditional checks and balances of our constitutional system. Recommendations include calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.

"Even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, we still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions left in the wake of Bush’s Imperial Presidency," Conyers said. Pointing to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, the Valerie Plame Wilson-leak, and the U.S. attorney scandal, Conyers continued, "Investigations are not a matter of payback or political revenge – it is our responsibility to examine what has occurred and to set an appropriate baseline of conduct for future administrations."

In addition to the set of recommendations, the report contains a foreword by Chairman Conyers and detailed discussions of: the administration’s legal approach to presidential power; the politicization of the Department of Justice; the administration’s far-reaching assaults on individual liberty (including torture, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance); the misuse of Executive Branch authority; the administration’s retribution against its critics; and the administration’s excessive secrecy, noncompliance with congressional oversight, and manipulation of pre-Iraq War intelligence.
