CNN is reporting that a soldier featured prominently in the Iraqi prison scandal photos will face a court-martial next year.
That’s good.
However, the way cnn.com is reporting it is strange. The headline on their story reads: “Pregnant soldier faces Abu Ghraib court-martial”
Excuse me, but she wasn’t pregnant when the abuse happened. She got pregnant as the abuse was going on.
The way that CNN has carefully worded it, it’s to draw sympathy for the soldier as she faces her trial for abusing Iraqi prisoners.
Odd way to describe a war crime if you ask me.
