Punish the woman!

"In Iraq, Private England was disciplined several times for sleeping with Private Graner, against military rules. "

from NYT

Did he get busted? Why not make mention of it, or lack of it, in the paper?

The NYT has likened Abu Ghraib to a "dark Soap Opera." Haven't they ever confronted the shifting alliances, volcanic emotions and incestuous relations of a red state trailer park before? Oh, that's just me and my bizarre Arkie neighbors, then. Soap Operas are a nicification and genteelisation of redneck living.

If anyone ever did a trailer park ethnography they'd find some seriously wack stuff. The Ivory tower would eat it up.
