Profile of Iraqi torture woman

I've been waiting for the press to do a story about the female American soldier shown tormenting Iraqi soldiers. Her name is Lynndie England, she's 21, and she comes from a "backwoods world" West Virginia.

"To the country boys here, if you're a different nationality, a different race, you're sub-human. That's the way girls like Lynndie are raised.
"Tormenting Iraqis, in her mind, would be no different from shooting a turkey. Every season here you're hunting something. Over there, they're hunting Iraqis."
