Lynndie England convicted

Yesterday, Army Pfc. Lynndie England (the dominatrix of Abu Ghraib) was convicted on six of seven counts for her part in the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. [Read more.]

Now, I do believe that England should be reprimanded for her actions. However, the abuse was not her idea. She is a follower, not a leader, and she believed that she was following orders from military intelligence.

Meantime, those in the Bush administration who orchestrated the methods by which they would skirt the Geneva Conventions, like Alberto Gonzales and John Roberts, are rewarded with promotions.

God bless America.
