Guilty as Sin

A few years ago...

Last week, a buyer in Oman payed $390,000 for a camel, the highest price ever payed for a camel. Even in the Middle East, many are wondering why anyone would pay that much ... (looking at picture) Good god, that's a sexy camel! That is a- take a look at it's- I think it's his eyes.

All things considered, that story makes the cause of this young lady's notoriety all the more puzzling.

FORT HOOD, Texas — Defense attorneys are hoping a plea deal by Pfc. Lynndie England will be accepted by an Army judge as the reservist whose image became synonymous with the Abu Ghraib prison scandal heads to court.

England, who appeared in some of the most graphic photographs depicting physical mistreatment and sexual humiliation of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, was expected to plead guilty Monday.

England's civilian lawyer, Rick Hernandez, said last week that the 22-year-old Army reservist will plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy, four counts of maltreating prisoners and one count of dereliction of duty. In exchange, he said, prosecutors will drop charges of committing an indecent act and failure to obey a lawful order.

The plea agreement, which would come the day before England was scheduled to go to trial, lowers her maximum possible sentence from 161/2 years in prison to 11 years.

For those of you who have forgotten, some of the most graphic images were of PFC England and, if I'm not mistaken, Specialist Charles Graner having sex. If it had been me, I would have stuck with the camel.
