What did you think when you first saw the detainees wearing women's underpants or rubbing feces on themselves. Did you feel sorry for them?

Well, it was kind of weird at first. But once I started to see the big picture, I thought, okay, here come these guys, the OGAs, the MIs or even officers, and they don't even look twice at it. If they approve, then I'm not going to say anything. Who was I to argue?

These photos made you famous the world over. Even the Rolling Stones wrote a song about you. You have become a symbol, the face of this war.
That's how I read about it in the papers. People stare at me a lot. When we talk about the negative things that happened in the war, then Abu Ghraib is one of the first things to come up, and they usually name me by name. Although I was only in five or six pictures, I am the most famous. So I suppose I am a symbol of this war. Unfortunately.

Further proof that nothing good has ever come out of West Virginia.

To godwinise this thread a little bit

Lynndie and her companions this way (i.e. by not having any second thoughts about their behavior just because their superiors liked what they did) showed the same authority abiding behavior that made the war crimes of the german army (as well as Auschwitz and the like) possible.

Indeed. After all, Bush is still president...
