In a move too common-place to evoke the disgust it deserves, the children that run the GOP, who blame others for thier mistakes, and refuse to take responsibity for thier actions, Lynndie England has pleaded
guilty.
The 22-year-old Army reservist entered her pleas to two counts of conspiracy to maltreat prisoners, four counts of maltreating prisoners and one count of committing an indecent act.
In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop another count of committing an indecent act and one count of dereliction of duty.
If the plea agreement is accepted by the judge, Col. James Pohl, a jury of officers and enlisted soldiers will decide her punishment following a sentencing hearing expected to last several days.
The plea agreement, which came the day before England was scheduled to go to trial, lowers her maximum possible sentence from 16 1/2 years in prison to 11 years.

Only 11 years??
I guess this gives new meaning to support the troops--supporting them with your tax dollars as they rot in jail. I thought what happend on the ship was ultimately the Captain's (or in this case, the President's) responsibility. If you're waiting for any higher up in the Bush regime will feel the heat for this, don't hold your breath.
And the National Guard Recruiter never told her about this in her High School in West Virginia. Remember, the higher-ups who let this happen were just giving orders.
