Witness: England Identified As Abuser
Witness: England Identified As Abuser
By ESTES THOMPSON, Associated Press Writer

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison identified Pfc. Lynndie England as among the soldiers who abused them, an Army investigator testified Thursday.

"The detainees were very specific about the guards who were there," including England, Special Agent Manora Iem testified at a military pretrial hearing.

Iem, who spoke by telephone, said he began interviewing prisoners in January, after investigators were given a computer disk containing the now-notorious photographs in which England and others are shown with naked detainees in sexually humiliating positions.

He said detainees described "a soldier who fit the description" of England, as well as other soldiers on the night shift who included England's boyfriend, Cpl. Charles A. Graner Jr.

7. Wasn't she also accused of having sex in front of the prisoners?
In that case, they would have seen her.

5. England
The creep is pregnant..will they let this abuser piece of shit keep the kid? I wouldn't because if she can abuse helpless prisoners when "stressed out" just imagine what she would subject a baby to? I shudder to think.

To me I think the wo4rld would be better if abusers were all put on an island together.Keep the narcissists.bullies sociopaths,con men and abusers away from people who don't compulsively do this shit.
If your empathy is out of whack and you keep hurting people,whether you agree or not does not matter to the people that get hurt.

Peaceful non abuser people need to get together and take all forms of power away from the bullies and abusers.wherever they are,in our homes and in our governments.When is enough,enough? When will humans stop sucking up to domineering,shallow,manipulative charismatic assholes with overweening ambitions put power back into the hands of people that must PROVE thier trustwiothiness by demonstrating character,people with a sound sense of empathy,humility, honesty and a sense of responsibility for themselves and a connection beyond "what can I get away with,what can I take for myself,who can I fool or browbeat into submission?"...,concerning the world of communities we all are part of .
