Fifth Column
Karpinski Shoots Her Mouth Off
2006-11-25
How did this fifth columnist get into the ranks of military officers?

Our Islamic enemies must be laughing their asses off at us, right about now.

Edited for the irritating lead...

Karpinski insists she knew nothing about the abuse of prisoners until she saw the photos, as interrogation was carried out in a prison wing run by U.S. military intelligence.
So, she saw the Rumsfeld memo after she was relieved of command? Because in order for her claims to be true that she knew nothing of the "abuse" of prisoners means she is either lied about it then or she is lying now about "what she knew and when she knew it."
Rumsfeld also authorized the army to break the Geneva Conventions by not registering all prisoners, Karpinski said, explaining how she raised the case of one unregistered inmate with an aide to former U.S. commander Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez.
Colonel Karpinski committed an egregious error as an army officer she has never rightfully acknowledged as a crime: she lost control of her unit while in a war zone. The photos taken of the hi jenks is one of many indicators of Karpinski's dereliction of duty. Her continual refusal to take responsibility for her own problems with her command is another
