While researching more on Abu Ghraib I also decided on researching more on Lynndie England. She was the girl posing in a majority of the photos. I found an interview that CBS News had with her and she talks about how she was given specific orders to "soften up" war prisoners before they were interrogated. I find this interesting, that even though England claims she was given direct orders she poses in each of her pictures. Smiling and grinning, I would say that England was enjoying her time taking these pictures. She looks as if she were taking these pictures and planning on posting them on her Facebook. Even if she was given direct orders why would she taking take these pictures for display? This unethical judgement by England and her superiors have been reviewed by many. Yes interrogation is a must during time of conflict. It gives information that is needed but the method that information is gathered is much more sensitive case.
