Lynndie England says she loved Graner
 Iraqi prisoner abuse suspect Pfc. Lynndie England said in an interview with a Dutch television program aired Monday that she had been in love with fellow soldier Charles Graner when abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison took place. England, 22, of Fort Ashby, W.Va., was a prison clerk who was shown smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners, and holding one at the end of a leash, in photographs that caused international outrage. She is charged with 19 counts of abuse and faces a sentence of up to 38 years if found guilty on all counts. England gave birth in October to a son fathered by Graner, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Saturday for his role in the scandal. "He's a really good guy," England said of Graner on the television program Nova.
| Sure, sure. We caught that right away. And you're a really sweet girl... |
"He's very responsible, he's very trustworthy. I'm not just saying that because of the storm we're in." She said she still loves him and hopes they will someday be together again.
| Maybe ten years or so. Maybe fifteen for you. |
England said she had been doinking in a relationship with Graner when the abuse occurred in the fall of 2003. Asked whether she loved him at the time, she answered, "yes."
