more on that lovely american woman in the abu ghraib pics.

from the globe today:

...''I was instructed by persons in higher rank to `stand there, hold this leash, look at the camera,' and they took picture for PsyOps (psychological operations),'' she (england) told the station.

''I didn't really, I mean, want to be in any pictures,'' she said. She also said she thought ''it was kind of weird.'' ...

...''We don't feel like we were doing things that we weren't supposed to because we were told to do them,'' England said. ''We think everything was justified because we were instructed to do this and to do that.''

After meeting with England, attorney Giorgio Ra'Shadd said she shouldn't be used as a scapegoat by the military.

''You don't see my client doing anything abusive at all,'' Ra'Shadd said in an interview. ''I think she was ordered to smile.''
