Janis Karpinski, retired Brigadier General with the US Army spoke to the Bluffton Rotary Club on Wednesday, September 3. Karpinski talked about her experience in Iraq, directly related to the Abu Ghraib torture and prison abuse scandal. She commanded three large US and British-led prisons in Iraq in 2003, along with eight battalions and a large group of Army reservists. She has published a book, One Woman's Army, in which she discusses the prison abuse. In her discussions with the Rotary Club and in her book, she strongly suggests a cover-up and that she was a scapegoat in the scandals. Her book, One Woman's Army: The Commanding General of Abu Ghraib Tells Her Story can be found at www.Amazon.com and other sources, if anyone is interested in more information.
