The Abu Ghraib Blame Game Begins

Who's fault is the prison torture scandal? If Linda Chavez is to be believed, it's the women:

It is hard to know what led to this breakdown in discipline. But one factor that may have contributed -- but which I doubt investigators will want to even consider -- is whether the presence of women in the unit actually encouraged more misbehavior, especially of the sexual nature that the pictures reveal.

But isn't it usually the absense of women, a la "Oz," that tends to drive males to violence? Chavez is reaching here, big time.
