Iraqis call Lynndie England jail term travesty
2005-09-29
Iraqis expressed fury on Wednesday over the three-year jail sentence for Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier notorious for holding a naked inmate by a leash in Abu Ghraib prison, saying it exposed American hypocrisy. They said the sentence would have been more harsh had she been convicted of abusing Americans. "America should be ashamed of this sentence. This is the best evidence that Americans have double standards," said Akram Abdel Amir, a retired bus driver in Baghdad. "There are Iraqis in jail without any charge, just based on suspicion. But when it comes to Americans, the matter is totally different."
I figured that'd be their reaction. And they're right. England should have gotten at least ten years.
