KARPINSKI'S LIES - CAUGHT BY THE BLOGOSPHERE

BRAINSTER:

This story is starting to get some play in the Lefty blogs:

Last week, Col. Janis Karpinski told a panel of judges at the Commission of Inquiry for Crimes against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration in New York that several women had died of dehydration because they refused to drink liquids late in the day. They were afraid of being assaulted or even raped by male soldiers if they had to use the women's latrine after dark.

The latrine for female soldiers at Camp Victory wasn't located near their barracks, so they had to go outside if they needed to use the bathroom. "There were no lights near any of their facilities, so women were doubly easy targets in the dark of the night," Karpinski told retired US Army Col. David Hackworth in a September 2004 interview. It was there that male soldiers assaulted and raped women soldiers. So the women took matters into their own hands. They didn't drink in the late afternoon so they wouldn't have to urinate at night. They didn't get raped. But some died of dehydration in the desert heat, Karpinski said.

ONE PROBLEM: it's a total lie - and BRAINSTER caught it:

My BS detector was pinging like crazy on that one. Fortunately, the Left has been careful to keep a catalog of all soldiers who died, and break it down in quite a bit of detail, including women.

First, and most obviously, no female master sergeants died in September 2003. A female sergeant died in July of 2003, but at least according to the website, she died of a non-hostile weapon discharge. Indeed, looking down the list there are only a few women where the cause of death is not pretty specific; so much for protecting privacy.

Karpinski was in charge of ABU GHRAIB at the time it was OUTTA CONTROL. She was demoted as a result, and she 's been trying to blame higher ups ever since. Just the kind of scoundrel the Left adores: incompetent traitors. Now, she's also totally outted as a liar by BRAINSTER. Right on!
