HeadlineSep 27, 2005

Here at home, a military jury has convicted Lynndie England of abusing Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison. The 22-year-old army reservist was photographed holding a naked Iraqi prisoner by a leash and pointing to an inmate’s genitals. She faces up to 10 years in jail. To date no high-ranking Pentagon has faced charges or been reprimanded in connection to the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal.
