A couple of points concerning L. England and abuse case

[mmonk]

There seems to be an attempt to discredit Giorgio Ra'Shadd, Lynndie England's attorney. He has a bachelor's degree from Regents College (The University of the State of New York), now called Excelsior, I think because he made a mistake and said his undergraduate degree was from SUNY at Albany (State University of New York). Reporters are giving the impression that his undergraduate degree is not legitimate and also give the impression that USNY (Regents College, Excelsior) is liken to a diploma mill. Any graduates that want to defend their degrees and college, post here and I'll post a reporter's email covering this story.

Also, anyone who wants to make or aledge the case that the Office of Special Plans is responsible for the abuse can post here as you may want to email the reporter as well.

1. ya think his pathetic tv appearances would be enough to discredit him?

Hopefully the England trial will be a stepping stone for a lucrative late afternoon tv show...

Ra'Shadd, Attorney for the Deranged!

2. Didn't know if anyone

wanted the investigations to all hang on the pfc's rather than anything higher up.

3. plenty of blame from Bush, Rumsfeld, Miller, Fast, Sanchez on down

but it doesn't absolve sadistic creeps...

4. Not trying to absolve anyone

trying to keep the train on track. I don't see how we're served if it stops at the accused. I like the constitution and disdain any attempts around it by anyone in government.

5. So I guess

those implementing torture as policy walk?

6. I suppose you didn't notice the Bush, Rumsfeld, Miller, Sanchez, Fast bit

It being a direct finger of blame pointed at those names, I could see how you could interpret it as blaming England instead.

Oh wait, I can't!

7. I got it

just wanted the publicity and trials to point higher up in the deliberations.
