Sick Romps At Porno Prison

"One of the female soldiers supposedly had sex in a gang bang," said Terry Stowe, an MP from California. "From time to time, things like this would happen."

News of the shocking sexcapades in the controversial lockup come as a friend of disgraced reservist Lynndie England lashed out in her defense yesterday, saying tapes of her having sex in the prison were personal to her and the boyfriend with whom she is "in love."



Congress members, who viewed shocking new pictures of abuse in the Iraqi jail, said England appeared in a sicko video having sex in front of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and that she was snapped in graphic sex acts with other U.S. soldiers.

But one family friend insisted the racy reservist had sex only with her boyfriend, Spc. Charles Graner - one of six others from the 372nd Military Police Company facing charges for the abuse - and that the pair are "madly in love."

He said the X-rated tapes had been taken from their foot lockers.

"We are all amazed by this. She only had sex with him," said Kenny Flanagan, who has known England since childhood.

The pregnant England, who is now stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., met Graner, 35, a divorced father of two, shortly before the pair's Maryland-based unit was posted to Iraq.

Graner is charged with overseeing numerous abuses of Iraqi prisoners, and appears in several photos with the young private, leering at humiliated Iraqi captives.

Another soldier involved in the scandal, Spc. Jeremy Sivits, told Army investigators Graner would mock the detainees and brutalize them, The Los Angeles Times reported last night.

In one incident, he allegedly punched a detainee so hard, he knocked him unconscious. "His eyes were closed and he was not moving," Sivits was quoted as saying. Afterward, Graner shook his fist and said, "Damn, that hurt," the report says.

Sivits, who the paper said is expected to plead guilty at a court-martial proceeding next week, also disputed England's claims that she was ordered to pose for the snapshots that shocked the world.

One picture showed her holding a naked Iraqi man on a dog leash, and in others, she is shown making thumbs-up signs in front of a pyramid of naked Iraqi men and pointing at the genitals of a naked prisoner.

Sivits said England was "laughing at the different stuff that they were having the detainees do."

He also shot down her claim that the soldiers were ordered to abuse the prisoners, and said Graner warned him not to tell higher-ups about how they were being treated.

"Our command would have slammed us," Sivits said.

New photos and videos revealed by the Pentagon to lawmakers in a private viewing Wednesday showed attack dogs snarling at cowing prisoners, Iraqi women forced to expose their breasts, and naked prisoners forced to have sex with each other, the lawmakers revealed.

Perhaps you should ask the author what the point was?

Based on your answer OCCOM, you seem to think it's all peachy keen for the US military to use a former Saddam prison for torture, gang bangs and live adult entertainment.

With $87 billion of my tax dollars spent on Iraq last year, another $25 billion this years, and another $50 billion next year, I expect accountability.

hi infowarrior- These perverts are the same ones who agree with Limbaugh who tried to minimize the Abu Ghraib torture palace as just so much college prank. They're ill.

OCCOM BILL opines, "And whom do you hold accountable? Do you think someone ordered these renegade soldiers to fool around with each other in front of a camera?"

Not "whom," but who: Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
