The people who should be sorry are those who allowed this one event to be blown out of proportion. The liberal media cost lives of both our soldiers and Iraqis who suffered from their overstatement of case.

In this deeply disturbing interview, the trailer trash torturer who appalled the world by appearing in shocking 'souvenir' photographs remains utterly unrepentant and says she has 800 MORE torture photos that could rock the White House
Normally, not much happens in Keyser, West Virginia, but today the folks in this quaint little railroad town, nestling in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, are spoilt for choice.
Either they can whoop and holler along to fiddle music at the annual Strawberry Festival or head down to the bookshop, where a local 'celebrity' - as her agent-cum-lawyer describes her - is signing first editions of her new biography.
Arriving at Main Street Books to find a young woman - considerably heavier now, but still grimly familiar - loitering self-consciously beside a pile of unsold manuscripts, it becomes clear that the fiddle players have won hands-down.
When the shop closes, two hours later, Lynndie England has autographed barely two dozen copies, mostly for acquaintances such as her old schoolteacher.
For even on her home territory, few people are willing to line the pockets of this fallen girl soldier; who posed for a stomach-churning series of 'souvenir' photographs that cost countless American lives and brought shame on the nation.
Five years have passed since a U.S. TV station first broadcast those pictures, staged to humiliate and dehumanise Iraqi prisoners - and provide warped amusement for their U.S. Army guards - at Abu Ghraib prison, near Baghdad.
They caused universal outrage, ending any lingering pretence that President George W. Bush was on some moral crusade in Iraq, and sparking a wave of retaliatory beheadings; many of which were videoed to reciprocate the horror and degradation meted out to the Muslim detainees.

" remains utterly unrepentant and says she has 800 MORE torture photos that could rock the White House"
Her absolute dereliction of duty and blatant disregard for foundational Army regulations and protocols was directly responsible for perhaps hundreds of additional US casualties in Iraq.
It seems she hasn't any guilt or remorse for her actions. And, with a book set to be published, it looks as if she'll profit from her actions.
What utter trash she is.
What a b*@$()!
Beside being trash, her claim to have almost a thousand more photos endangers US troops!
I can’t remember the details.....how did she torture prisoners?
Good grief, that whole article stinks to high heaven with stereotypes doesn’t it? Oh thats right, its not a stereoytpe if its about white people. Then again, she should have to apologize when they bowdown and kiss America’s behind. They can START with apologizing for Daniel Pearl.
She’s too F’ing stupid to realize what she did was wrong. This ho should be in the clink....
What she did wasn’t torture. College hazing is worse.
That said she did disobey orders and did hurt the cause. So has her commanding General since.
she should run for Congress lol
It endangers all of us here.
Every time our state-run media revives the Abu Ghraib story, there is an uptick in attacks on westerners here.
I destest Lynndie England almost as much as I detest our state-run media.
underwear on head? leashes? poses?
I dunno
She was never taught right from wrong, most publik skools don’t teach it either
Doesn’t excuse her pimping her squalid story and thus further doing harm to America. She’s vile and reckless.
If she has 800 more photos as she claims, they belong to the United States Military, IMO
Let me know what your alma mater is, I want to make sure my kids avoid that school.
What she, and her partners in crime, engaged in was torture. Iraq was not Afghanistan, I know, I was in both places. Uniformed service members of the US Armed Forces have a moral obligation, and swear an oath to to treat prisoners in a humane manner. There was nothing humane about what they did, and it certainly wasn't college Tom Foolery.
Do a little research about what happened at Abu Ghraib before you embarrass yourself further.
I don’t care what she did. It shouldn’t have been an issue. The photos should never have been released. No one died from her actions specifically but people surely died from the actions of liberals in the media to stir this up in order to hurt America and hurt Bush and gain politically. I’ll save my anger for the real monsters. They are among us and we do nothing to stop them.
It’s too bad she got caught. She would have made a great Secretary of DHS.
What publisher fronted this work?
And for the next act we have dueling banjoes.
If it saved one American life I hope she pulled out their finger nails one at a time very very slow.
None of those terrorists were beheaded after the supposed "torture".
We should give her a metal and hang 90% of the MSM.
