1. Like I'm sure she just thought up sophisticated torture methods on her own
That's a question a lot of us are asking.

3. I guess her trial was the only one that got attention
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 03:44 PM by joanne
NEvertheless, there should be MANY more facing trial. MANY MORE.
And I am sure those who plea bargained agreed to testify against her.

4. Yes there should Joanne. Namely Donald Rumsfeld
who was probably instrumental in so much of it.

7. There were others who were convicted:
From CNN.com:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/09/26/prisoner.abuse.england.ap/index.html

"England's trial is the last for a group of nine Army reservists charged with mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib in Iraq. Two others were convicted in trials and the remaining six made plea deals. Several of those soldiers testified at England's trial."

The real criminal is Donald Rumsfeld - Indeed a loser!

9. "why has no one else been charged?"
Because these trials and the Army's "investigation"/cover-up, are both shams/smoke screens!

11. Others have been convicted..
but she seems to be the poster-child for prisoner abuse that the media is concentrating on.

13. Lynndie England...
Rumbo's "Pet" Scapegoat.

She is no more guilty than the people in Washington, who think it's okay to torture and murder people, to get what they want...
