Library of Congress taking reservations?

Former Army reservist Lynndie England had been scheduled to discuss her biography as part of a veterans forum on Capitol Hill. The book by author Gary S. Winkler is called “Tortured: Lynndie England, Abu Ghraib and the Photographs That Shocked the World.’’
And yet IN THAT VERY HALL the CONGRESS will NOT INVESTIGATE, WILL NOT PROSECUTE, WILL NOT CONVICT Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, et al.
England, now 26, has said she hopes the book will help people understand what she says was a limited role in what happened at the Iraqi prison in 2004. She is appealing her convictions for conspiracy, mistreating detainees, and committing an indecent act. England was one of 11 soldiers found guilty of wrongdoing.
