Until you have put on that uniform,went through training in boot camp,and been sent to another country and given orders by a commanding officer,that you follow to the letter or else,don't judge those of us who have.It's really easy to sit there in front of the tv or computer and say "she's horrible and deserves what she got"when you have never been where she has.No,what happened isn't right,but,IT'S A WAR,and these are the types of things that happen in a war.

D GREENE 620: I'm glad... GLAD you're reacting as you are. Your use of words tells all, you self-hating, inadequate, riddled-with-adolescent clumsiness little racist weakling. I do and will ALWAYS continue to protest that which I believe needs to be protested here in the land of the free. Don't you even try the military "oh, you don't know 'cause you weren't there" BS with me. You know nothing about me, and obviously damn little about anything else. All people like you know is your own little tunnel-vision view. I'm glad I make you sick. Maybe you'll puke out your silly, unimportant little hate, you loser.

Sounds to me like the CIA was in control of Iraqi prisons and guards did what they were told, using techniques propounded by the Bush people. You only have to run a search on 'CIA and Abu Ghraib' or 'torture memos and Abu Ghraib' to learn that. So rather than denouncing lowly guards, seems to me someone should look into why the CIA was there and at whose instigation. Also how is it there were no representatives of the CIA at the guards' trials, speaking on their behalf? OK. Stop laughing. It wasn't that absurd a question, was it?

OLWARIOR: Don't pull that "if you weren't there you don't know" BS. It's NOT about that. Crimes against humanity are just that... cruel, indecent, UNAMERICAN behavior that has no place under our flag IN ANY SITUATION. How dare you. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT to complain about it; to protest, whether or not we're military. My God - the military IS NOT SOME SECRET SOCIETY that doesn't have to adhere to American standards of decency. In fact, they have to adhere even more than anyone else BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT ALL OF US. And I damn sure don't want some self-hating un-American sadist loser representing ME anywhere, nor do I want filth like her representing any of my countrymen.

"I don't have a social life...." Uhhh, gee who wouldn't be looking to date a 26 year old unwed mother, ex-con on welfare? Sounds like a real "catch" to me. The telling statement in the article was the last line: "I didn't think....".

You consider what she did to be torture? Sports teams and fraternities haze worse than that! What about the Iraqi scum that put the fear of god into our soldiers and civilian contractors???? Then they'd be shot or have their head cut off!!! These Iraqi prisoners got off easy!

I am a fomer soldier and I have some symapthy for this former soldier. What she did was wrong, but it is not torture. She was convicted of mistreatment and indecency (i.e. violating the Middle East's cultural norms) and conspiracy (acting in concert with others per her commander). She should NOT get a pass for this, but let's give this person a break... She has served her time and was (I believe) doing exactly what she was told. Luckily, these are not WWII atrocitites and while we should be mindful of other cultures, unless you have been in conflict you have no real reference for judgement. Does that mean the military should torture -- Which was NOT something she did -- absolutely not! However, we do live in the real world and are dealing with radicals that are sworn to die before revealing secrets. Let's please remember this regarding the CIA's tactics and not be so naive. As for this soldier, I hope that she has learned that the world is not always what it seems. I wish her a...

Consider this for a minute: Middle Eastern culture is extremely volatile. A Dutch cartoonist who depicted Mohammad is a humerous manner sparked outrage a while ago, causing riots that killed dozens of people; a CARTOON STRIP that most people here would find harmless did that. Now imagine these same people, all throughout the Middle East, watching photos of this woman abusing prisoners in extremely degrading ways. I wonder how many of them thought, "Gee, maybe I'll go try to kill some US soldiers or join Al Qaeda or become an insurgent." If a cartoon can spark enough outrage to get them to kill each other, what do you think those explicit photos did? Her antics not only disgraced our men and women in uniform, but also probably got al qaeda a few hundred recruits and servicemen killed. Her and everyone else responsible (her commanders authorized this-- that's how military heirarchy works) got off easy. Their irresponsibility undermined our efforts in that conflict and got more soldiers ...
