I wonder what REALLY happened? Probably the "muslim sisterhood" nailed her.

I can tell you in no uncertain terms that what happened to her was one of two things. An accident or a personal beef with another inmate. No way that this was related to what happened in Abu Yabba Doo.

No inmate will take it upon themselves to do something to another inmate unless it is personal, a contract hit or beatdown or gang related. Out of a sense of righting a social injustice? Never gonna happen. I spent too many years in prison and know how these things work.

You'd be surprised. Burns from a commercial kitchen accident are the worst. Burns are the worst, period.

Prayers for Ms. Englund, as I wish that nobody would ever suffer such an injury.

bad things happen in food service sometimes

Abu Ghrab figure England burned in prison mishap

Least-enlightening headline I've ever read - just had to click and see what the heck this was about.

Turns out, it's about an ugly chick in prison.

[silver charm]

umm, read the article again. It was chickens (plural) in a tall oven. She's a little shrimp and she was reaching for a pan of chickens probably about eye level to her and the grease got down the front of her. I knew someone who was burned like that taking something out of the upper level of a double oven.
Chickens got alot of fat on them.
I still think she got was too harsh a sentence. Those poor humiliated Iraqi's are probably still getting wet dreams about all that "abuse".

[A CA Guy]

Looks to me like she's doing alright.

[Paul_Denton]

okay, so I understand. but the "Abu Ghrab scandal"... don't care. I don't care. It's war. Did you know 5 million German children died in our bombing of Germany World War II? That's innocent children. So do I give a crap about some insurgents who we caught being made to do a pyramid? No. Our men have gone through worse torture. That's kiddie stuff compared to true torture. I don't care.

I agree.

[SR 50]

I guess some people will do anything to get out of work. She probably learned that in the Army Reserves.

[Oztrich Boy]

England blamed her involvement in the Abu Ghraib scandal on then-lover Charles Graner,

"then-lover"? And we were all hoping those two crazy kids would make it.

[Straight Vermonter]

Arrrgggghhh, that is ridiculous. Germany lost 1.84 Million total civilians in the war so how the hell could they lose 5 million children?

Please don't give nonsense statistics.

I see of the allied powers if you count Russia, Russia had a huge amount of military deaths 10 million.

America was next with over 400,000 compared with UK,France,ect

You are going to have to give me another source. I don't trust Wilkepedia.

England should never have been sent to prison in the first place. "General" JANET KARPINSKI and she alone was responsible for the Abu Ghraib behavior. This was an administrative issue. How that bitch could have been promoted to General without seeing a single minute of action is beyond me.

[Lazamataz]

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.

Ooo. That'll leave a mark.

[john drake]

I think most of us can assume or know how she got promoted; leaving out any presumption of hanky panky (obviously; have you seen her? Yikes!)it was political correctness with the feminist angle applied here. Period. End of story. Anymore questions? Quick question though; which administration did she reach the "star" rank; was it under the Clintonian era? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[foreshadowed at waco]

I must admit that I always felt sorry for this girl...she seems to be a full-fledged moron...slack jawed and dull of eye...besides what kind of person would want a sadistic boyfriend that pimps you around to his friends for a few laughs? (yeah I know...she didn't have sex...but what type of woman would pose for pictures pointing to a bound, strange man's genitals--not a very mentally healthy one IMHO)...she was used and just too dim witted to walk away from it...

she has always reminded me of the retarded girl in NJ who was molested and raped by the popular guys in their basement...she knew what she did made her feel uncomfortable but the boys started talking to her and paying attention...It made her feel like one of the gang...she never really understood that they despised her ...I have a hunch that Lyndie was heartily despised for being such a moron by her fellow GIs...sad chapter.

[Big Bad Bob]

She did wrong, she is paying the price.

And on we go.

ANd the best saint is not beyond justice.

[Oztrich Boy]

England should never have been sent to prison in the first place.

She violated the UCMJ, and disobeyed a direct order.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Sorry to hear it.
