Good.

Yep.. funny days are over.. hope they'll set lyndie england's ass on fire now

There needs to be a whole posse in there on trial with Miss Lyndie, there were more involved than just her and her creepy fuck buddy.

and then idiots come and compare the US to nazi germany :2 cents:

this just reenforces how arbitrary law is.. its not about right and wrong... only legal and illegal.

just trying to make an example out of someone to make the US look better in iraqi eyes.
