Don't blame the 'white trash' - Iraq
The Abu Ghraib torturers are vile, but they are being scapegoated for crimes that are the fruit of occupation

By Gary Younge
THE GUARDIAN , LONDON
Wednesday, May 19, 2004,Page 9

Two young women have achieved iconic status in US President George W. Bush's battle between good and evil currently touring Iraq. And if the administration's propaganda machine is to be believed, one is good and the other is evil.

One the side of good there is Jessica Lynch. When we first met her, in April last year, she was the plucky soldier who had been captured after a "valiant gunfight," slapped around and then rescued on camera in a "midnight ballet" by a daring posse.

Representing evil is Lynndie England. When we first met her she was smoking a cigarette and giving a thumbs-up while pointing at the genitals of a naked, hooded Iraqi prisoner. She appears to be laughing; he appears to be masturbating.
