What a clueless, unrepentant fool.

Especially since I can easily imagine Joe Biden saying those exact words.

Guantanamo or living with her parents and child in West Virginia?

“If I say I regret getting with Graner then I say that I regret Carter. And I don’t,” she said. “I wouldn’t give up Carter for anything. And if going through that whole ordeal is what was supposed to happen to me to have Carter then that’s how some things are.” '


I do not pity her. She's had 8 years to reflect on what she was a part of and she hasn't learned a damned thing.

That wasn't it.

Didn't think so.

I feel like the military fails these kids. They go into these "target-rich" areas, like the backwoods of W. Virginia, and lure these kids in. Then drop them into regions they couldn't find on a map, let alone have any knowledge of, and instruct them to kill AND "win hearts and minds." The higher-ups create the monsters and then when something like this happens, say "well, golly gee, how the fuck did that happen? must be a bad apple."

go live in another part of the country. It might be tough, but it could work out for her.

Maybe some counseling would help, too. She needs to take responsibility for her actions, even if they are somewhat mitigated by the fact that she was exploited herself. She was exploited by Graner, and the military. It does not excuse what she did. But she was used.

Attacking anyone that cirticized her, saying she was just another poor white who was pressed too hard.

Well, I have a problem with that. Yes, these poor white kids grew up poor, though I will bet hard cash all of them feel superior to the black people around them. Yes, looking at them does show that as big as the race issue is, class is bigger, and that many people do not get the support they need and deserve as human beings, much les as American Citizens.

But frankly me dear, there were many, many people poorer than Lyddie that did not choose to do something THEY KNEW WAS WRONG!!!

And it is apparent that she still does not give a fuck, and would do it all again.

Lyddie my dear, the only regret I have about you is that you did not dangle from the end of a gallows, and I do not mean the one used on Saddam, I mean the sort of good old fashioned type they used to use on soliders that decided to commit atrocities. I humbly offer this as an example for what they should have done to you!

And the solider's of ol kipling's day had it harder than you ever did, honey.

. . .and how she was going to ultimately end up, Abu Ghraib incident or not.

That essay of his marked the first time I ever heard of him, and I will always remember it for this sentence:

If you are doomed to eat shit, you may as well bring your own fork.

whether the suffering was self-induced or not.

Good luck, Lynndie

Because others have it so much better off then her?

Frankly there are a lot of people in the same position who have done a hell of a lot less to earn it.

Stupid little white ass playing the victim. Pathetic.

I feel a lot of sympathy for that kid. While I share your lack of optimism for his future--given his mother's issues--I do feel sorry for him. It isn't like he made that choice, yet he's gonna suffer along with her.

He's being raised as a white victim. Not much hope of life success there.

The blacks and the gays and the Hispanics and the Martians stole any chance for him to succeed will be the message drummed into his head.

You wanted to kill them, didn't you, you vengeful minx?

Honestly, the thing that will spell the end of the American experiment is not external enemies, but internal IGNORANCE of the world around you.
