Lynndie england where is she now

He was 15 years older. He used to follow her out to the smoking area. Graner didn't smoke, though; he just wanted to see her. I didn't think about it at the time. He acted like he was 3 years old. Their affair started in March , while they were stationed in Fort Lee.

She was a really quiet girl," says former Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, the commanding officer at Abu Ghraib during England's stint. Their paths cross for the first time. He's much older, and he's full of himself. He's just got that kind of personality. Paying attention. He seemed far more experienced and worldly than anyone she knew.

It only took a few short conversations. She was enamored with him. He likes to do stuff. Wild things. According to court documents, Graner beat his former wife, Staci Morris, and dragged her by the hair across a room. A former civilian prison guard, he'd also been accused in a federal lawsuit of assaulting an inmate at Pennsylvania's State Correctional Institution-Greene in and putting a razor blade in the inmate's mashed potatoes.

England brought Graner home with her to Fort Ashby in early With a foul mouth and pierced nipples they saw those later , he didn't make a good impression.

That day, recalls Terrie, he stood in their living room and slowly looked around. He remained standing. I said, 'You're nothing but trying to get into my daughter's pants. I said, 'Here's the door and don't let it hit you on the way out,'" she recalls. Maybe when he was born, something fell out of his ear that was supposed to be attached to his brain.

But England refused to give him up. In March , she went with Graner and another soldier to Virginia Beach. During the trip, Graner took pictures of himself having anal sex with England.

He also photographed her placing her nipple in the ear of the other soldier, who was passed out in a hotel room. Soon, it became their new game: Whenever Graner asked her to, England would strike a pose.

She said, 'Guys like that. I just wanted to make him happy. The sexual stuff, the way he put her in those positions, that was his way of saying, 'Let's see what I can make you do. After the Virginia Beach expedition, England and Graner rented a car and drove to eastern Kentucky, where her parents and grandfather were turkey hunting in Daniel Boone National Forest.

Sitting between Graner and her parents at a picnic table, England asked Graner to share some scenic pictures from their trip to Virginia Beach. Graner handed an envelope to England's father, who opened it and scanned the images, then handed them to Terrie. They showed nudity and sexual scenes. Apparently, Graner had given them the wrong vacation shots. It's early afternoon.

England looks out the prison window at a grassy area bathed in Southern California sunlight. Two people are sitting outside at a table.

A golden retriever lies nearby on the lawn. We start them at eight weeks, and we train them to help the handicapped. They work in nursing homes, or help deaf people. Some of the dogs live with people who have panic attacks. The dog knows beforehand that a panic attack is coming on, and they can make a signal so the person can get their medication before it's too late.

When she describes the dogs, England's face lights up. Her mom, Terrie, has two cats, Sadie and Piggy. Until she gave birth to her daughter, Jessie had three. As kids, she and England used to watch Where the Red Fern Grows , a film based on a Wilson Rawls novel about a year-old and his two hunting dogs in the Ozarks during the Depression. The video still sits on a shelf in her parents' trailer.

Darby, were deployed for duty in Iraq. The first stop: the Hilla camp, 58 miles south of Baghdad, where the army was training new Iraqi police officers. The American forces took up residence in an abandoned date-processing factory, a big, open space, like an airplane hangar, but screaming hot and full of bird shit.

Not long into their stay, two of the soldiers appeared at the base one day with animal carcasses. They'd found a dead goat and a dead cat somewhere and started slicing them up. Someone took a photo of a soldier pretending to have sex with the goat's head. For several weeks, the decaying animal heads provided entertainment for the soldiers. Some soldiers put a cigarette in the cat's mouth," she says.

The soldiers stashed the severed heads in their rooms. During that time, Graner instigated another kind of amusement: sexually charged weekly theme parties in the barracks. A Chem-Light is a light stick used by soldiers that's akin to a flashlight, containing hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye packaged in a small plastic tube. Break it open, and the stuff glows for hours. One night, Graner pulled his shorts down, poured the contents of a Chem-Light onto his penis, and walked around naked.

In October , the soldiers set aside their games and headed for their next assignment: Abu Ghraib. Janis Karpinski remembers the day England arrived at Abu Ghraib in It didn't hurt them, but it was a real 'welcome to Baghdad' moment.

Karpinski greeted them. She's small, you know. Not assertive or aggressive. Honestly, she was young and innocent. I know those words don't seem to apply to the pictures she was in. But when I touched her, I felt fear. England arrived in the thick of intense fighting. Insurgents launched mortar attacks at night. During the day, snipers trained their weapons on guards. In between, prisoners threatened to riot, walking in circles, chanting in protest. England worked in a processing office.

She had no real business being in Tier 1A, where Graner worked, the wing of the prison where suspected insurgents were held. But she'd slip over there at 10 p. It's intentional on his part. And naive on hers. Graner is a big, hunky guy. He can probably put his arms around England and still touch his shoulders.

Does she feel safe with him? And all she has to do is be sexually wild with him. And pose for more pictures. In a supply room, Graner takes a shot of England performing oral sex. England adds a flourish for the photos: a thumbs-up sign. In another photo, England is standing near a detainee, Hayder Sabbar Abd, a year-old taxi driver, as he is being made to simulate masturbation.

Again, she gives a thumbs-up. Why did she let Graner take all those pictures? Wasn't she afraid he'd show them to people?

He kept a camera in his cargo pocket. We called her the wolf lady coz she had all this hair. For the rest of her life, England will be a felon, but she'll also be living reminder of one of the more shameful moments in recent American history. She's not enjoying this status, that's clear. What's unclear, though, is if she feels more remorseful about what she did to the victims in those or what the photos of her actions have done to her.

Accompanying the article was a series of photos depicting the abuses at Abu Ghraib, one of which shows a female soldier grinning over the body of "The Iceman" below , according to Philip Zimbardo, the psychologist who provided the images.

See update below. Sabrina Harman, a former U. His body was put on ice to keep it from decomposing until it could be disposed of.

In , Time magazine published a story piecing together what is known about Iceman's death , which has been ruled a homicide. The piece depicts what occurred to him in a shower room, which might also reveal some of what occurred to other prisoners whom England says were taken to the shower rooms. Readers might also be interested in this new piece from the New Yorker about Sabrina Harman -- Exposure: The Woman Behind the Camera at Abu Ghraib -- which provides interesting background on her and the photos.

A reader identifying herself as Sabrina Harman contacted me to let me know that the previous image was actually taken at a morgue in Al Hillah and was not of the person referred to as The Iceman. The image now published above is of Harman and al-Jamadi at Abu Ghraib. Apologies for the error. Which photos did Graner present to them? Did you do any waterboarding?
