and that is what she deserves living alone with her mother not getting a job and father doesnt want something to do with the kid so on. Pretty bad for the Kid but she deserves it

This is a newly phenomena in the Wars 100 years ago noone would have even thought about doing things like that Photos or burning a Koran whilst no muslim would ever burn a Bible, but its america yeehaw they think they can do what they want and respect just themselves. Taking pictures like this is awful, who does she want to show it? her son? This is just a piece of **** which has no sense of humanity. Just because in a War die people doesnt give you the right to to this. But in america it seems to be allright to pee on dead people or abusing and torture then, yes they also write it into laws these awful people.
And now America starts attacking China softly over Iranian sanctions and want to santion china. I hope they try this, and i hope China counters by not lending the US anymore money, because then they are ****ed.

Children services should take her child away from her, God knows what that disgusting piece of human trash does to her daughter. England and Graner need to receive the death penalty and I demand to watch it on youtube! I hope at least both die extremely painfully of cancer.

The US government (of course elected by the US people) with its Military goes around occupying countries....and when they expect resistance from the people they are occupying....they call them "enemies". The United States and its Military is the SCUM OF THIS EARTH....it is one of the LOWEST LIFE FORMS ON THIS PLANET...and just like all LOW LIFE I T WILL COME CRASHING DOWN.

@Behnam Neilgooni, Please stop victimizing the War Criminals with the far-fetched "Psychology Analysis Theory", because it is not FAIR to the real victims of this UGLY war. If you want to show your deep sympathy for these heartless , immoral and conscienceless  Torturers, please go and ask your government to repent of its vicious action against the humanity and all the post-war consequences your people have to take! Well said angie, she is war criminal alright.  No one disputes that.  The question is why a criminal becomes a criminal?  More importantly, what could be done if any to may be salvaging a criminal?  More importantly still, how do we prevent others to become like her?
Why, she is a criminal? Because, she is the graduate of West Virginia school system and popular American culture as it is preached by Morduch and other dominate TV empires in the US, under the disguise of freedom of speech.  In signal processing we have a saying:  “garbage in garbage out”   What else would you expect?  Would she have been exposed to alternative views, such as RT, would she have been the same?  Her case is no different from a black kid in the gatos who turn out to be a gang member and commits horrible crimes.  No one approve of the horrible crime.  What I am saying is why she became such a monster?  In my opinion is environment she had been subjected to.  Give you an example, search in Netflix streaming selection for the video of great classics, such as say crime and punishment.  You won’t find it.  However, there is lots of garbage in the streaming format for young children to watch. This is just an example, and then what would you expect?
How to salvage a criminal?  I address that in my previous post.  Unfortunately, since the criminals have to live among us, we have to salvage them or they would strike again, like Timothy McVeigh.
How do we prevent others to become like her?  One way to do that is by exposing the real consequence of her action.
Of course, what I wrote in my previous post assumes that she is intelligent enough t o understand wright from wrong.  However, if she does not have the mental capacity of realizing wright from wrong, ie. If she is retarded, then whole other psychological help should be provided to her.

I think what she did was wrong, but a lot of people are spewing a lot of stuff that they have only a single side of the argument. If you made any strong armed remark about her and her actions, and you are not a member of the military, or were part of the military campaign for that matter, then don't go acting all almighty. War is hell. It does some things to some people. Life is usually devalued in warfare. This war sucks, everyone knows it. The sooner it ends, the better for both sides.

Hate can never win. If your enemy make you hate him, he has won.

What a life, living and burning with hate the rest of her life! Her only redemption is love!

But as the old song "Love Hurts" by Nazareth goes:

Love hurts,
love scars,
Love wounds,
and marks,
Any heart,
not tough,
Or strong,
enough
To take a lot of pain, ....
 


Torture and war always have two victims.  The Torturer and the tortured person!   It is obvious why the tortured person is victimized, but what many people do not know is the psychological effect on the torturer.  This is because human psyche wants to rationalize and be consistent. &nb sp;  When one sleeps, the unconscious ego tries to revisit the experience, rationalize and reorder the experience in one’s brain.  However, when someone does something wrong, then the brain have hard time doing that.  That is why these people will have hard time sleeping, and consistently suffer from stress and anxiety.  This is because their brain has not processed the experience yet.  Normally, they turn to drugs and alcohol to numb their brain.  They create false value systems to rationalize their experience, which distance them from the real world and ruins their relationship with the people close to them and the society in general.   Worst of all, their unconscious ego is always awaiting for some sort punishment to manifest itself.  Death and diseases of the loved ones is unconsciously interpreted as a punishment for their action, which lead to the intense feeling of guilt.  They develop suicidal tendencies. Well, you can read Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s book crime and punishment to better understand the psychology of such a person.
Also, as I mentioned before the only redemption for such a person to return to self love is admission that he or she has done something wrong, and try to ask forgiveness from their victims.  This is the way some of the old Vietnam veterans are dealing with their psychological issues.  Then their brain can start to sort things out and be in peace.  Many never reach this state.

Now with bigots like you in the West, demonic possessed savages like this nonentity, together with the true axis of devil ( Bush, Blair, Sarkozy, Cameron, Anders Fogh, Ban Ki Mon et al.) will enough boast to continue in wiping human race out!! Wake up cause their next Sept. 11 may catch you unawares, even with all your stupid support of their evil. May that died on World Trade Center could still not believe their so-called government could kill them! Well, same did those killed by Saddam. Evil has no color or nationality. @Truth_Hurts, very well said!  Just a couple of days ago I caught sight of  some pictures taken in the Iraqi War in which two American military personnel were seen holding the bleeding Iraqi babies in their arms and their expressions at that moment are really indescribable. I was overwhelmed with grief over such shocking scenes at that time. Is this the so-called " WAR of JUSTICE"? More than 100,000 Iraqi civilians were killed by the US troops during the war, at a rather conservative estimate, but in the end, the Bush Administration  still could not FIND the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq that the Saddam regime was claimed to be possessed of and that is believed to be the cause of war against Saddam-led Iraq. I do not want to say how atrociously the US army behaved during the occupation of this country, but I do feel extremely sad for all those poor, helpless and traumatized Iraqi people who are still living in ruins after this treacherous war. As a person with a clear conscience, I can only say What Goes around, Comes around.
