Lynndie 'a scapegoat' in prisoner abuse scandal
Lawyers for Army Reservist Lynndie England claim she is being used as a scapegoat in the Iraqi prison abuse scandal, and they hope a military hearing this week will allow them to question senior officials they believe are responsible.
In a hearing expected to begin in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, today, England’s lawyers will make the case that the 21-year-old soldier was following orders when she was photographed mocking naked detainees at Abu Ghraib prison.
