Hmmph. I didn't notice the Bush/Cheney bumpersticker until just now. As Michael Savage would say: "How conveeeenient!"

Ooops! I guess my 5 years in the Navy is showing! Anyway there is only one military prison isn't there? In Leavenworth, Kansas IIRC.
No matter what article you read from the MSM, you’ll see no mention of the fact that there exist a video of PFC. England doing the nasty with multiple partners (two or more, I assume).
To bring that to attention, would leave people with the impression that if she’s capable of that then she may also be capable of posing for the “Abuse Pictures” without being ordered to do so.
This is about as much out of line as what she did.
And yes it is a bit much.
But I think a POINT is being made. A big POINT!!!
She just happens to be on the other end of that point!
"No one was hurt. No one is dead"
Wrong and wrong. The dead prisoner(s) didn't die from panties on the head, though I don't think she had any part of that.
Nice.
Looks like the Clinton social experiment on the military worked (to their liking).
You make it sound like she and she alone is responsible for this.
38 years would be ridiculous.
Kerry got nothing for his what he admitted doing in Nam, maybe if he would have stripped some Gooks and put underwear on their heads, he would have been taken seriously.
Her punishment should be no greater than what Sandy Berger gets for his stealing classified documents.
We do know Lynndie likes one half of the ticket for sure! I'm not so sure about Cheney..
"The dead prisoner(s) didn't die from panties on the head, though I don't think she had any part of that."
I was thinking more along the lines of Nick Berg. Seems I recall that "the Panties” played a part in his execution!
A man possibly murders his wife and it leads the news.
Normally it would not be fair for her to receive the full punishment. We have to be harsh with her, though, because what she did caused so much damage. It humiliated the U.S. in the eyes of the world. Even worse, it provided fodder for the Dems/Commies/media to berate President Bush and to deflect attention away from important things. Panties on a terrorist's head is NOT important, and I personally think they should do things a thousand times worse to get information, but it was there for the bad guys to grab hold of, and she helped put it there.
It's ok, we're all on the same team. Well except for the demoncRATS, that is.
I believe what the article fails to mention, is that some of the charges are sexual misconduct type charges. It would be extremely hard to prosecute on the prison guard charges, since she was, allegedly or not, doing as ordered. On the other hand her sexual misconduct charges would be very hard to defend against. If they threaten her with 38 yrs, on some very hard to defend charges, this would essentially force her into some kind of a plea bargain.

Too bad for Lyndie she's not an illegal alien. Illegals in Illinois can molest a 10-year-old girl and merely get deported, rather than do jail time.
38 years is excessive. What she did was wrong, stupid, and damaged our mission. 5 years sound about right.
Very valid point. Although she ticks me off and the smear affected ALL military personnel, the punishment should be the same for her and for Berger. I'd be happy with that.
We know she is a fan of Bush! lol...
His lawyer is busily pettifogging, trying to get some of the evidence excluded. Asswipes, both of them.
