Hiding Behind England

by TChris

A comment by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Zay Smith:

The attorney for Pfc. Lynndie R. England, an Army reservist charged Friday with mistreating Iraqi prisoners, regarding the prosecution:

"What is offensive to me is that we have generals and the secretary of Defense hiding behind a 20-year-old farm girl from West Virginia who lives in a trailer park."

That's not quite fair. They are hiding behind her only long enough to see if it works.
