I had no idea that Karpinski isn’t a general anymore, since I could swear the press always calls her one. But I checked Nexis and it’s true. Anyway, from a reader:
Hey Jonah- As a current US military officer I could not help but notice the link you included on your Karpiski/Torture tour listed her as a Brig General. I’m sure you know this, but she was demoted and forced to retire as a colonel for shoplifting at a US military exchange.
I’m not sure of the when this event happened, but I’m pretty sure her demotion happened early in 2005. Either the not in our name folks, or Karpinki herself, is purposely misleading the public.
Thanks,
Love reading NRO,
