#1 I dunno, three years for Lyndie sounds about right. I think guy who leaked the photos is the one who deserves 10 years or more.

#2 I think the reporters who ran the photos deserve a jail sentence.

#3 I believe it was Graner's attorney who leaked the photos.

#4 "America should be ashamed of this sentence. This is the best evidence that Americans have double standards," said Akram Abdel Amir, a retired bus driver in Baghdad.

This is the best example of "outrage" they could find? I'll wait for somebody other than Ralph al-Kramden to speak out against her sentence.

Personally, I think she should have gotten 10 years for being stupid.

#7 If it happened to Americans I seriously doubt she'd have gotten any sentence since humiliation by a woman is just not the same thing in our culture.

Of course if she taunted them with a cross, that might be different.

#9 You beat me to it, I agree the one who leaked the photos should be the one punished here.
We need to get a handle on the cameras in use in these parts, that they are putting others in harms way because of this nonsense.

#12 The Iraqis "depicted" in this article clearly have never heard of a dishonorable discharge.
