Lynndie a 'willing participant' in prisoner abuse

A soldier already convicted in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal testified today that Private Lynndie England was a willing participant in creating the “human pyramid” of naked Iraqi detainees shown in infamous photographs.

Private Jeremy Sivits testified at a hearing in England’s case that he helped escort a detainee into the Baghdad prison one night in December 2003. He said a sergeant who was in charge yelled at England and another soldier for “stomping on the fingers and toes” of a prisoner.
