HOLD THEM ALL ACCOUNTABLE. INCLUDING THESE TWO HORROR SHOWS.
Edited on Sat May-15-04 07:34 AM by Skinner
The circumstances this article documents reminds me of Nazi prison camp sexual decadence I have read about. While I support our troops, these soldiers sicken me to my core.

RAW



LEASH OF HER WORRIES:
"Leash GI" Lynndie England had video sex with Spc. Charles Graner.

Washington Post


May 14, 2004 -- Iraq's feared Abu Ghraib jail was one big sex romp - sometimes by candlelight with an audience watching, U.S. troops said yesterday. Sex and alcohol were commonplace, and soldiers frequently set up candlelit rooms for voyeuristic sex shows, said a soldier who served at the notorious prison.

"There were lots of affairs. There was all kinds of adultery and alcoholism and all kinds of crap going on," said Dave Bischel, a National Guardsman with the 870th Military Police unit, who returned home from Abu Ghraib last month.

"There was a bed found in one of the abandoned buildings. There was a mattress on the ground. They had chairs all circled around it and candles all over the place," said Bischel, adding the chairs were "obviously for an audience."

The soldier said the X-rated liaisons at the prison were made easier by its maze-like layout and that other troops frequently turned a blind eye to what their pals were up to.

3. Has anyone mentioned the restraining orders
his ex-wife filed against him? Betcha she isn't surprised.

Suspect in prisoner abuse has a history of troubles
Whitehall native had checkered work record, stormy marriage
<snip>
But public records indicate that Graner had troubles at work as a correctional officer in the state prison system in Greene County -- a history of disciplinary actions that culminated in his firing in 2000. He was later reinstated by an arbitrator.

Graner's marriage dissolved in 1997 and his wife obtained three protection-from-abuse orders against him in the ensuing four years. In her first petition, she accused him of threatening to kill her. She made other allegations of abuse in subsequent petitions.

4. Almost fell off the barstool..
the other day when I saw his record in another article.

Is there a sale on for tinfoil and bullshit detectors? Once again I say that I'm having trouble believing anything I hear coming from over there, whatever the source.

Everything about this war is becoming more revolting by the minute.
