Lynndie England depressed at Abu Ghraib - psychologyst

US Private Lynndie England suffered from depression and her mental condition, coupled with an overly compliant personality, made her a heedless participant in abuse of Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib prison, a psychologist told her military trial.

Xavier Amador, a clinical psychologist from New York, testified to the hearing at Fort Hood, Texas that England’s soldier boyfriend, Charles Graner, was her “social accomplice” whom she relied upon without reservation to guide her behaviour.
