KEYSER, W.Va. — More than two years since leaving her prison cell, the woman who became the grinning face of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal spends most of her days confined to the four walls of her home. Former Army reservist Lynndie England hasn't landed a job in numerous tries: When one restaurant manager considered hiring her, other employees threatened to quit. She doesn't like to travel: Strangers point and whisper, "That's her!" In fact, she doesn't leave the house much at all, limiting her outings mostly to grocery runs.

In this deeply disturbing interview, the trailer trash torturer who appalled the world by appearing in shocking 'souvenir' photographs remains utterly unrepentant and says she has 800 MORE torture photos that could rock the White House Normally, not much happens in Keyser, West Virginia, but today the folks in this quaint little railroad town, nestling in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, are spoilt for choice. Either they can whoop and holler along to fiddle music at the annual Strawberry Festival or head down to the bookshop, where a local 'celebrity' - as her agent-cum-lawyer describes her - is signing...

BERLIN (AP) - Lynndie England, the public face of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, told a German news magazine that she was sorry for appearing in photographs of detainees in the notorious Iraqi prison, and believes the scenes of torture and humiliation served as a powerful rallying point for anti-American insurgents. In an interview with the weekly magazine Stern conducted in English and posted on its Web site Tuesday, England was both remorseful and unrepentant—and conceded that the published photos surely incensed insurgents in Iraq. "I guess after the picture came out the insurgency picked up and Iraqis attacked the...

Ex-Abu Ghraib guard named to rec board 21 minutes ago Lynndie England, one of the most recognizable figures of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq, has a new role as a member of this Eastern Panhandle city's volunteer recreation board.

"When (council members) saw how hard she worked for the festival, they didn't hesitate to put her on the board," said Hardy, who is also a board member. "If it wasn't...

NEW YORK - The soldier who triggered the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal by sending incriminating photos to military investigators says he feared deadly retaliation by other GIs and was shocked when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld mentioned his name at a Senate hearing. Within days, Joe Darby was spirited out of Iraq at his own request. But his family was besieged by news media, and close relatives called him a traitor. Ultimately he was forced to move away from his hometown in western Maryland. "I had the choice between what I knew was morally right and my loyalty to other...

Lynndie England, the soldier convicted of abusing Iraqi detainees, was seriously burned in a prison kitchen accident at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, her mother said yesterday. England, who was pictured holding a leash to a naked and hooded Iraqi inmate at the Abu Ghraib prison, was sentenced in September to three years for her part in the abuse scandal, which sparked worldwide outrage. She has since been confined at the Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar, which is on the base. The brig is the Department of Defense's only prison designated for women, said Brewster Schenck, a spokesman for the facility....

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) -- Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier who posed for some of the most infamous pictures of detainee abuse at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, suffered burns at the prison where she is serving her sentence, her family said Friday. England was injured about three weeks ago in a kitchen mishap at Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar, said her father, Kenneth England, from his home in West Virginia.

Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier incarcerated for abusing detainees in Iraq, was badly burned in a prison kitchen accident, her mother said on Thursday. England works in the prison's kitchen, where she suffered second- and possibly third-degree burns from being splattered with grease over her chest as she removed chickens from a tall oven, her mother, Terrie England, said in an interview. "She was in severe pain," she said of the December 14 incident. "Everybody in the prison heard the scream." Terrie England, who is caring for England's infant during her incarceration, faulted prison officials for not giving better treatment...

Bad news to the Lavender Ladies at the N.O.W.: Women are still lesser to men in the eyes of the American legal system. What’s worse, it’s women who are bringing this upon themselves. Three recent events show this to be true. First was last week’s trial of Pfc. Lynndie England at Ft. Hood, Texas. Leash-lady, as you recall, was the woman who brought dishonor and shame upon the United States military by posing with naked Iraqi prisoners, then giving the thumbs-up in a full-frontal display of sadistic bravado. During the trial Pfc. England’s lawyer trotted out the sob story that...

Lynndie England, the US soldier pictured holding a leash to a naked Iraqi inmate at Abu Ghraib prison in a scandal that prompted global outrage, was sentenced on Tuesday to three years in prison and given a dishonorable discharge. In sentencing testimony just hours before, England, who had faced a maximum nine years behind bars, apologised for her actions and said she remained an American patriot. "After the photos were released, I've heard that attacks were made on US armed forces because of them," she said. "I apologise to coalition forces and all the families," England, speaking slowly, told the...

FORT HOOD, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. soldier Lynndie England, convicted of abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison, faces a maximum ten-year term when the military jury decides her punishment on Tuesday. England was found guilty on six counts on Monday, on charges that she "wrongfully posing for a photograph," including images in which she held a naked Iraqi prisoner by a leash and pointed to another inmate's genitals in the Abu Ghraib prison. The publication of the abuse photos early in 2004 caused major damage to America's image abroad and England came to personify the scandal. The prosecution had agreed...

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Prosecutors say Pfc. Lynndie England willingly abused prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in 2003. Her attorneys argue that she suffered from depression and was a heedless participant in the abuse. A jury of five Army officers was set Monday to hear both sides during closing arguments and begin deliberating on whether England is guilty of abusing Iraqi detainees. England, 22, is charged with seven counts of conspiracy and abuse that carry a maximum sentence of 11 years. Her trial is the last for a group of nine Army reservists charged with mistreating prisoners at Abu...

FORT HOOD, Texas -- Prosecutors in Pfc. Lynndie England's prison abuse case portrayed her in closing arguments Monday as an eager participant with a "sick" sense of humor, while defense attorneys described her as a weak-minded pawn trying to appease a sadistic boyfriend. A jury of Army officers was to start deliberating Monday afternoon. England, one of the most visible figures in the Abu Ghraib scandal, faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted on seven counts of conspiracy and maltreatment of detainees at the Iraq prison in 2003.

Thomas Denne, who had worked with England since early childhood, testified that he and other educators focused too much on getting the mild-mannered girl through school and not enough on providing her with real-life skills. "Maybe I thought, 'I didn't shoot high enough for Lynndie England,'" said Denne,...

Lynndie England will abandon her earlier courtroom strategy and fight charges that she was a key participant in prisoner abuse by guards at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, her lawyer said.

FORT HOOD, Texas -- The Army scheduled a hearing for next week to decide whether to court-martial Pfc. Lynndie England in the Iraqi prisoner abuse case, Fort Hood officials said Thursday. England, a West Virginia reservist whose guilty plea was rejected this month by a military judge, has been charged with seven counts arising from abuse of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in late 2003.

She shouldn’t spend a day in jail. Pfc. Lynndie England. Somebody should give her a stern talking to, dock her a couple of week’s pay and kick her out of the Army. And then she should go back to her trailer in West Virginia and disappear into the woodwork. But no way should she go to jail. You know who she is. She’s the ugly female soldier holding the leash, the idiot with the cigarette pointing to the family jewels of some naked Iraqis. They had her in court yesterday and had her plead guilty to seven counts of nonsense....

Lynndie England Pleads Guilty May 2, 2005 11:49 am US/Eastern FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) Pfc.

Va. who is charged with 19 counts of abuse and indecent acts in the alleged abuse of prisoners at Baghdad’s infamous Abu Ghraib prison.

They were filed last week, but not made public. Previously, she faced 19...

FORT BRAGG, NC -- Lawyers for Pfc. Lynndie England moved Wednesday to throw out statements she made when first questioned about Iraqi prisoner abuse, including that reservists were just "joking around, having some fun." The motion was one of five taken up by military judge Col. Stephen Henley in a hearing in advance of England's Jan. 18 court-martial on abuse charges stemming from photos of her pointing and smiling at naked detainees at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison. Paul Arthur, an Army special investigator, testified that England was aware of her rights, including to have a lawyer present, when she was...

While leftist critics entertained high hopes of deeply wounding the Bush administration over the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, they will now have to shelve their hopes for another day. Testimony from the MPs involved in the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, including key figure Lynndie England, indicates that no higher officials were involved; a fact the independent commission investigating the scandal confirmed in Washington last week. Naturally, the left and those who hate America have never considered the possibility that Bush administration officials did not orchestrate the abuse and that the Abu Ghraib MPs acted alone. To do so would blunt...

Who the higher-ups were who had approved the group's treatment of prisoners she could not say. This was a decidedly different explanation from the one she initially gave, according to the Army investigator who first confronted her with the photographs. Months before those were made public, investigator Paul Arthur testified at the recent Article 32 hearing, Pfc. England had told him that the photos [was] just some fooling around while on the night shift. There was no mention...

He replies, "We need to remind the women of Islam ceaselessly: Our enemies are the same as theirs; our victory will be theirs as well."

Indeed, the filmed orgies among...

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry! On Thursday, May 6, Pres. Bush publicly apologized to Jordan’s King Abdullah II for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. I wasn’t aware that Abdullah was the king of Iraq. Apparently, when America screws up, our leader must apologize to any and every Moslem in the world, to people who exuberantly support torture, as long as it is carried out by Moslems. I must have missed King Abdullah II’s apology for the butchering of four American civilians in Falluja. King Abdullah is a “moderate, pro-U.S.” Arab, which means that his statements in support of genocidal...

Private First Class Lynndie England's contention that she was ordered to abuse Iraqi detainees, thus justifying her actions, simply won't wash. England and some of her fellow Army Reserve comrades are facing court martial for mistreating captured Iraqi soldiers at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison compound where Saddam Hussein's henchmen once mercilessly tortured and killed inmates. Jessica Klinestiver, England's sister has stated that she is "outraged" because undue blame has been heaped upon England. "That's not like my sister to do anything like that at all," she said. But the images tell a different story. Perhaps England was ordered to...

<p>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.

The Iraqi prisoner abuse that has shocked the national conscience delivers an unfamiliar jolt: The face of this scandal is female.
