Much ado 'bout Abu

Mudville Gazette

Lynndie England, the "face of Abu Ghraib", pleaded guilty today to charges related to the abuse at the facility. CNN, in reporting the event, included some details I've previously never seen compiled anywhere other than this blog.

All of the incidents except the dog leash and the "rapeist" incidents took place on England's 21st birthday, November 7, 2003, when England -- a clerk, not a guard -- had come to the cell block to visit Graner.

The detainees in the photographs were suspected of starting a riot in another area of the prison and had been brought to the cell block for further questioning.

Those simple facts change the story of government sanctioned torture of insurgents that has long been associated with the photos from Abu Ghraib. It almost begs the question why they are so under-reported. Ironically, few people know that CNN 'broke' the story of Abu Ghraib last January, months before the infamous photos made Lynndie England the most recognizable American face of the War on Terror.

If none of this is the Abu Ghraib case you know from other media accounts, please read on. You are not alone. Here's why you don't know what you think you know about Abu Ghraib.
