Remember Me???
Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 05:52 PM by ls317
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -- Four months after she tried without success to plead guilty, Army Pfc. Lynndie England plans to fight charges she played a key role in abusing detainees at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, her lawyer said.

The 22-year-old reservist, who appeared in several graphic photos taken inside Abu Ghraib in 2003, goes on trial here this week on two counts of conspiracy, four counts of mistreating prisoners and one count of committing an indecent act.

She will be the last of a group of junior enlisted soldiers charged with abuses at the notorious prison to have their cases resolved. Two have been convicted at trial, while six others made plea deals and received prison sentences of up to eight years. Most were members of the Maryland-based 372nd Military Police Company.

None of the goverment contractors will ever face charges in the case.. But lets file charges against the lower ranking members of the Army

5. We all reflect our role models & our culture. This is America-face it.
From the concentration camps of the original Americans (Indian Reservations), to the treatment of Africans like animals, to the slaught of entire species, to the concentration camps of Japancese Americans, to the Atomic Bombs dropped in Japan, to the selection of the WASPS for government, to the selection of Muslims for bombing with cluster bombs-depleted Uranium-10 years of sanctions, Americans support and ignore racism and genocide IN OUR NAME.
