Abu Ghraib was a special place

The court martial trial of Pfc. Lynndie England began yesterday. In all of the pictures, Pfc. England displays none of the happiness or frivolity that marked her photos from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. In those photos, Pfc. England was frequently seen smiling or hoisting her thumb in the air. That just goes to show that Abu Ghraib was a special Utopia for American troops stationed there; a magic moment to which they will never return, like innocence lost.
