2 charges against reservist dropped

Spc. Megan M. Ambuhl -- one of seven Western Maryland-based Army reservists charged with abusing Iraqi prisoners -- is a victim of "guilt by association" because she was standing near Pfc. Lynndie R. England, but out of camera range, in the now notorious photo of a naked male detainee leashed by the neck at Abu Ghraib prison, her civilian attorney said yesterday.

That photo resulted in a charge of conspiracy against his client, said Harvey J. Volzer, who said Ambuhl worked the nightshift at the prison with five other guards who are facing criminal charges.

Volzer said he received a report yesterday of military investigators' findings after Ambuhl's Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a grand jury proceeding.

Ambuhl was referred for a general court-martial on the conspiracy charge and a count of dereliction of duty, but two of the four original charges brought against her were dropped, he said.

God, wouldn't I like to serve on a jury for the likes of Limbaugh and all these other RW fascists!
