War criminal whimpers and cries

"Lynndie England Still Haunted by Abu Ghraib Scandal," blares a headline at the fascist Fox News.

Tough shit, Lynndie.

If a soldier commits a serious crime against another person in the course of war, you know what that makes them? A war criminal. And Lynndie England was convicted of abusing Iraqi prisoners of war.

Over the years, she's tried offering many excuses for her behavior. She has said she was ordered by commanding officers to abuse the prisoners, but that defense won't wash - because soldiers are not allowed to follow orders to abuse POW's. She has also blamed the media for the entire scandal.

Of course, she was only sentenced to 3 years in prison despite being convicted on numerous counts. And she only had to serve a little more than a year.

Now she's released a self-promotional book designed to repair her shattered image, because nobody in her hometown wants to be around her. The name of this volume? 'Tortured'!

Uh, Lynndie? Grow up! You only did a year in prison for something you should have done many, many years for.

Lynndie England doesn't even think she did anything wrong in the Abu Ghraib scandal. So she obviously didn't learn a damn thing from prison.

Leave it to Faux News to actually try to give credibility to a war criminal's book tour. This is the channel that destroyed the careers of anyone who dared to oppose the war, so it would be only fair if Lynndie England loses money on her book.
