Prisoner abuse hearing opens for pregnant soldier

A military hearing opened today to determine if a heavily pregnant young soldier should be court-martialled for her actions at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, where she was photographed smiling and giving the thumbs-up sign in the presence of naked, hooded detainees.

Private First Class Lynndie England arrived in the court in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, for the military equivalent of a grand jury hearing.
