Abu Ghraib's poster girl Lynndie England blames the media for exposing her inappropriate behavior to the world. It's as though she feels her right to privacy during war was violated. And then there's this:"I'm saying that what we did happens in war. It just isn't documented," she was quoted as saying. "If it had been broken by the news without the pictures it wouldn't have been that big."Good grief!
She told the magazine that there are other photographs that have not been released that contain more graphic images than those that were seen on television, in newspapers and on the Internet.
"You see the dogs biting the prisoners. Or you see bite marks from the dogs. You can see MPs (military police) holding down a prisoner so a medic can give him a shot," she said. "If those had been made public at the time, then the whole world would have looked at those and not at mine."
Now we're going to have everyone with a laptop and a checkbook looking for those pictures. Get ready for another round of stories about the torture at Abu Ghraib.
