England Not Guilty
Texas. Yes, thats right. Private Lyndie England was found "not guilty" of the charges of torturing and humiliation of Iraqi and alegged terrorists.
"Well, I didn't really know what I was doing was wrong." England stated, "I thought that since my friends were doing it, it was okay."
The judge heard another of the accused as well who stated that, "It was part of a training video that we were making."
After the testimonies, the judge said that he would throw the case out of court as he couldn't decide whether the incident was part of the training video or not. In which case human rights don't exist. Asked if those were our men in uniform being treated simularly by the enemy and they said it was all part of their training, how would he handle that.
"Totally different situation!" he barked at this reporter, "What are you? Some kind of terrorist lover? Them damn sand (racial explative) deserve what they got! Have you forgotten 9-11??"
"No," I said, "I haven't forgotten 9-11, do you really think the victims of that horrible day would think this treatment justified. Does the fact that our soldiers acting like animals bring those victims the justice they deserve?"
I was then written on a list, (of what I'm not sure), and then asked to leave the judges chambers. Hang on, there's a knock on my door....
