Give her a medal......forget the court martial.

[wideawake]

Graner testified for the defense that three pictures he took of England holding a naked prisoner on a leash were meant to be used as a legitimate training aid for other guards.

That's the ticket.

"The pictures were essential for my 'What Not To Do' PowerPoint presentation!"

[PeterPrinciple]

Graner said that the notorious photos taken of England at the prison had a legitimate use

can anyone explain this?

[evets]

Must be love...

[Elpasser]

Good. Maybe there will be justice for this poor creature after all. She was following orders to "humiliate" the prisoners -- not torture them. Since the Geneva Convention does not apply to nonuniformed terrorists, what the hell is her crime?

It's pretty sorry that they are burning a couple of low ranking enlisteds for all of this.

[bluebeak]

Medals, not Jail, for Lynndie!

[PAR35]

Instead of her getting her negotiated deal, the boyfriend may end up getting her some serious time.

[Puppage]

Graner, who is said to be England's ex-boyfriend, was found guilty in January and is serving a 10-year prison term

Ewwww, that'll get you at least 5 years!

Do the Lynndie!

Seems odd to me that whereas "Lynndie England" has become a household name, I can't seem to recall the names of any of the others involved in this "scandal".

[lilylangtree]

For cryin' out loud, Abu Ghrab was an issue for the demoncRATS. Medals should be given to our soldiers like England & Graner NOT jail.

[Bossy Gillis]

Then they wonder why they cannot meet their quota.

[Captain Rhino]

Interesting twist.

The comment "You can't have a one person conspiracy." is telling. During SENTENCING PHASE, ex-boyfriend/father of her child says something in mitigation testimony that causes the judge to think that her guilty plea to conspiracy in the previous TRIAL PHASE was not genuine or that she was ill-advised/informed/served by defense counsel. Tough break, but the MCM is pretty specific about protecting against defendants making false guilty pleas.

She may, indeed, have to go through trial. Maybe ex-boyfriend/father of her child can testify again and get her acquitted. Unlikely.

[Jaded]

That is such b/s. She knew what she was doing was illegal. They are trained to know that.

[society-by-contract]

Garner and England should be starved in small boxes until they die, the brutalizing, sick POS. That said, here is my Lynndie:

[thag]

You know this is driving the DU crowd absolutely NUTS.....

[cynicom]

Typical military "justice". Hang the lowest ranking enlisted people found standing around. After the hanging they will all retire to the club and have a good laugh or two. Good ole boys look after good ole boys or girls.

[samtheman]

Promote her. Arrest the prosecutors. Sentence them to make little rocks out of big rocks for the next several years.

[Nebr FAL owner]

I want to know how many of the folks that were running that zoo have been convicted ? You know the ones that hold officer's commisions,how many "private contractors" are facing jail time? The female general that was in charge of the prison has been cleared .

[Lunatic Fringe]

Good, then she can go on trial and serve time... just like the men have to.
