What is the deal with this idiot? After the Abu Ghraib scandal unfolded on her watch, she was removed from command and disclaimed any responsibility. Personally, I think her and several of her immediate subordinates should be court martialed and dishonorably discharged.

And now she tells the BBC she ran into an Israeli interrogator (b/c he said, I'm not an Arab, I was born in Israel or something).

I don't think the answer to the following question will depend on your political viewpoints. What would you do to punish her, if anything, for Abu Ghraib and, now more directly, for her conversation with the BBC (whether her information is correct or not)?

Hello
This is not a defense of her, but if there wasn't a sense that she is being scapegoated for the actions of her seniors, people would be much harder on her.
