What a good kid. And I'm just old (and, honestly, drunk) enough to call her a kid, but.... It would have been so easy for her to play along with BushCo's portrayal of her as a hero. Refusing to do that is just a bit heroic in itself.
Seriously: she's just a few years older than some of the kids in those Iraqi prisons -- some of those kids possibly (if rumors of the revelations in some of the forthcoming pictures are true) raped in those prisons by her fellow servicemen.
It sounds condescending, but I mean it with all respect due to her: she's a good kid. She'll be an incredible teacher someday.
In terms of teaching by example, she already is.
