Dick's on Lynndie's list: The 100-name witness list for Pvt. Lynndie England's hearing on her involvement in torture at Abu Ghraib includes high-profile Bushies including Dick Cheney. By putting top government officials like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ricardo Sanchez, and others on their witness list, "England's attorneys are serving notice that in defending their client, they will attempt to put on trial the Bush administration's policies on intelligence gathering from detainees. Like most other military police reservists charged in the abuse scandal, England has claimed military intelligence officers ordered the MPs to 'soften up' the detainees prior to interrogations." Also: The Lynndie England Fan Club: "Support Her... Or Get Out."
