Jeezus

Notorious Abu Ghraib leash girl Lynndie England told investigators that male Iraqi prisoners were forced to wear women's "maxi pads" and crawl on their hands and knees through broken glass.

In a sworn statement, she also said that Cpl. Charles Graner, by whom she is pregnant, would sew up prisoners' wounds with a needle and thread - after inflicting the damage during beatings, The Los Angeles Times reported.

"Cpl. Graner would personally stitch up detainees if the wounds weren't too bad," she said. "He would take pictures of his work. [In] one particular incident, Cpl. Graner ran a former Iraqi general into a wall and split his lip. Cpl. Graner stitched up his lip."

England said "everyone in the company, from the commander down," knew about the abuse, which she described as "basically us fooling around."
