Somehow I missed this last week. Lynndie England, the ex-U.S. soldier who became infamous for her role in abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, mistreatment captured in photos that appalled people across the globe, was scheduled to speak at the Library of Congress today as part of the tour to promote her new book.

Lynndie England will be at the Library of Congress today promoting her new book. America’s infamous military police reservist at Abu Ghraib will be discussing her role in the abuse of prisoners.

If you have a chance, I strongly recommend you pick up a copy of Final Salute: A Story of Unfinished Lives by Jim Sheeler. Final Salute is a tribute to the brave troops who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and to the families who continue to mourn them. Here’s [...] Posted by Zach W on December 24, 2008, at 1:19 pm
For a good long time, I’ve been of the belief that Vice President Dick Cheney is not only dangerous, but that he hasn’t really done a good job as Vice President.

On his final visit to Iraq, President George W. Bush got a reminder of his unpopularity, as an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at President Bush during a news conference: “This is a farewell kiss, you dog!” shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based [...] Posted by Zach W on December 4, 2008, at 10:01 pm
Thanks to my good friend Kevin (who really needs to post these things here himself) I came across an article written by Matthew Alexander – writing pseudonymously for security reasons – who happens to be a veteran of the Iraq war. In the article, Alexander takes a strong position against torture, but what’s most [...] Posted by Zach W on July 10, 2008, at 7:51 pm
A national fiscal burden that now stands at $455,000 per household, that’s what. Who or what is to blame? Undoubtedly conservatives will point to entitlement and pork-barrel spending as the culprit while seeking to blame liberals, but let’s take a look at some numbers: This little counter shows the up-to-date cost of the war in Iraq.

Thanks to a phone call campaign coordinated by Peace Action Wisconsin, a virtual urban warfare game that allowed Summerfest goers as young as 13 to climb into a Humvee simulator and fire machine guns at life-size people displayed on a computer screenhas been shut down by Summerfest officials. Obviously I’m glad the folks from [...] |
