(Referencing an appropriate quote from Bill Maher…)
You’ve got to be kidding me with this (and here is more background), along with this Wikipedia article…
This is a woman who sexually humiliated Iraqi prisoners in full defiance of the Geneva Convention, doing her little “thumbs-up-happy-dance” in the process. Her boss (and lover, as it turned out) Spec. Charles Graner, ended up getting busted to the rank of private first class also. I’m not trying to let him off the hook either, but for some reason (chivalry gone absolutely nuts?), he stuck up for her last May, testifying that she didn’t think she was doing anything wrong because she was only following orders (oh, I see…the Eichmann defense) and thus got her guilty plea thrown out. She was looking at possibly 38 years in prison before Graner caved, and as it is, she is now looking at 11 years in a military stockade. But now, she’s even trying to get out of that?
The only regret I have is that this loathsome, detestable person, regardless of what happens, won’t end up serving time in a bloc with Alberto Gonzales and Donald Rumsfeld, who allowed her to perform her despicable acts.
