Torture Trollop's Talk Trashed
Lynndie England lecture canceled after threats
"A Friday lecture at the Library of Congress by Lynndie England, one of the most recognizable figures of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, was scratched over safety concerns after opposition from library employees produced violent threats, the organizer said.
In addition, organizer David Moore said he canceled the entire series of lectures on veterans' issues, saying free speech "is pretty well dead" because of the ability of a vocal few to make a public fuss.
Ms. England, a 26-year-old former Army Reservist, had been scheduled to discuss her authorized biography as part of the ongoing lecture series sponsored by the Library of Congress Professional Association, an employee group.
The book, titled "Tortured: Lynndie England, Abu Ghraib and the Photographs That Shocked the World," was written by Gary S. Winkler, who was not invited to the event, said a spokeswoman for Ms. England.
Mr. Moore, a German acquisitions specialist at the library, said he received several "vicious" e-mails and telephone calls threatening violence.
After informing police and the library's inspector general of the threats, library President Angela Kinney called him Thursday evening to say the event would be canceled."

Why wasn't the author invited to this event? She didn't write the book.
Apparently it was an "authorized biography", probably a ghost written autobiography.
In any event the trailer trash cunt meant to profit by pimping the screed and speaking at a federal institution. Please think about that - she is part of one of the most malignant ongoing crimes this country is perpetrating in the world today and expected to make money by advertising her role on federal property.
The fact she fell on her sword to protect her miserable superiors doesn't make her crimes intellectually compelling, and we should never confuse fame with infamy.
