London, June 14, IRNA – The trailer trash torturer, who appalled the world by exposing the Abu Ghraib scandal, says she has 800 more torture photos that could rock the White House.
Lynndie England, a former US Army reservist convicted in 2005 in connection with torture and prisoner abuse, said in an interview with “Daily Mail” that she has much more to expose about the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
Five years have passed since a US TV station first broadcast the Abu Ghraib scandal pictures, staged to humiliate and dehumanise Iraqi prisoners and provide warped amusement for their US Army guards at Abu Ghraib prison, near Baghdad.
They caused universal outrage, ending any lingering pretence that former US president George W. Bush was on some moral crusade in Iraq, and sparking a wave of retaliatory beheadings, many of which were videoed to reciprocate the horror and degradation meted out to the Muslim detainees.
In another photograph, the waif-like Military Police private casually inspects a line of terrified Iraqi prisoners – again stripped and wearing sandbags over their heads.
Grinning broadly with a cigarette clamped in her mouth, England, then just 21 and weighing less than seven stone, added to their humiliation by pointing mockingly at their genitals and giving the thumbs-up sign.
One of seven US Army reserves jailed for mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib, England has served three years in detention and is now on parole.
With a new book to peddle and her appeal against the conviction due to be heard next month, one might have expected the 26-year-old England to express some remorse.
Following Barack Obama’s release of CIA torture files which lend credence to her claim that the ritual humiliation of prisoners was a White House sanctioned tactic during the Bush regime, she even consulted her local senator about petitioning for a presidential pardon.
