Right On

What Skippy says:

not that we're fans of the nurenburg defense, but we happen to think the guys at the bottom of the chain of command in this scandal were, if not following orders, at least working within the parameters set (or ignored by) their superior officers.

in other words, why are the privates and specialists bearing the brunt of the repsonsibility for the attitudes at abu ghraib?

as for lynndie england, we're having trouble buying her "my boyfriend made me do it" defense. if we were her, we'd (1) talk about what our immediate superior officers had to say about our actions before, during and after they happened, and (2) get a better hair cut that doesn't accentuate our baby fat.
