Wow. Lynndie England is the “It Girl” of the Web. I’ve gotten over 100 hits today and most of those are Lynndie-related searches. Lynndie England, welcome to your fifteen minutes. It’s probably not what you had in mind, but hey, you’re on the TV! The only time someone from West Virginia usually gets on the TV is if they win a lottery or fall down a well or something, so consider yourself a trailblazer, Lynndie. You’re out there representing poor white trash like only you can.
Am I cruel? Perhaps a little.
Meanwhile, the news just keeps getting better: Via Atrios:
Rumsfeld did not describe the photos, but U.S. military officials told NBC News that the unreleased images showed U.S. soldiers severely beating an Iraqi prisoner nearly to death, having sex with a female Iraqi female prisoner and �acting inappropriately with a dead body.� The officials said there was also a videotape, apparently shot by U.S. personnel, showing Iraqi guards raping young boys.
