| Karpinski Shoots Her Mouth Off |
| 2006-11-25 |
| How did this fifth columnist get into the ranks of military officers? Our Islamic enemies must be laughing their asses off at us, right about now. Edited for the irritating lead... Karpinski insists she knew nothing about the abuse of prisoners until she saw the photos, as interrogation was carried out in a prison wing run by U.S. military intelligence. So, she saw the Rumsfeld memo after she was relieved of command? Because in order for her claims to be true that she knew nothing of the "abuse" of prisoners means she is either lied about it then or she is lying now about "what she knew and when she knew it." Rumsfeld also authorized the army to break the Geneva Conventions by not registering all prisoners, Karpinski said, explaining how she raised the case of one unregistered inmate with an aide to former U.S. commander Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez. Colonel Karpinski committed an egregious error as an army officer she has never rightfully acknowledged as a crime: she lost control of her unit while in a war zone. The photos taken of the hi jenks is one of many indicators of Karpinski's dereliction of duty. Her continual refusal to take responsibility for her own problems with her command is another |

| #6 So, what Karpinski says, she had no idea that goes on in her command. |

| #5 Had a marine who was at abu-griab right after the incidents tell me yesterday that of her whole command of the prison Karpinski was only in Iraq for 10 days and only visited the prison she commanded for 1 morning. She's a really hands on leader! |

| #4 According to the article from Spain, sleep deprivation is the best accusation the Comi-Crapinski, can come up with. When my two kids were born, I had sleep deprivation for years. |

| #3 Any retiree can be called back to active duty for court-martial, if the offense is serious enough. I'd say high treason counts. a. They weren't prisoners of war. b. The Geneva Conventions did not apply. c. She did not and does not have the expertise or authority to make that judgment. Prosecuting the SPC who got picked up running around a train station in Belgium naked and tripping on acid was kinda fun (four months, poor kid). Prosecuting this bitch would be sheer grinding fury. I only wish she could serve out her sentence under her own management. |

| #2 Isn't there some Army reg that says field grade officers are subject to recall even after retirement? Call her up and give her the chance to show how a POW camp should be run with our new Ethopian allies in their run-up with the ICJ. |

| #1 They should court martial her. Make her show her evidence. If she thinks she is in the right, she should readily agree. |
