There’s a significant difference beteeen Cindy Sheehan and Lyndie England. Cindy Sheehan takes responsibility for her own actions, and my guess is, Lyndie England never has at any point in her life… Just another girl who wanted to be dungeon master but forgot that you aren’t supposed to smile quite that broadly while holding the leash.
That’s what got her convicted, she looked like she was having “too much fun”. She was…
No sympathy for torturers, no matter what the excuse, social background, or orders… She had a DUTY, personal or Geneva Accords, to refuse illegal orders, and she didn’t. TOO BAD!
A slur on dungeon masters, but leave that aside. Lynndie England is reportedly “learning disabled” and depressive. I don’t mean to argue that the dim and troubled shouldn’t be held responsible for their crimes, but it’s unseemly to denounce her with such enthusiasm, while her superiors walk free.
