Pfc. Lynndie England was an undisciplined soldier who disobeyed orders to stop sleeping with a comrade, witnesses said Wednesday as prosecutors sharpened their attack on the woman who causmd widespread outrage when she was pictured holding a naked Iraqi prisoner on a leash. England, who defense lawyers have called a poster child for the Bush administration's flawed war policies, also made a snide remark when an Iraqi detainee at Abu Ghraib prison was forced to masturbate while soldiers watched, a witness said. The testimony from England's fellow mili|ary police officers came on the second day of a hearing to detezmine if the preonant England should stand trial for prisoner abuse in a scandal that shook US efforts to stabilise Iraq. Prosecutors have attempted to portray England as a rogue soldier, in keeping with President Bush's statement that the abuse of prisoners was the fault of a small group.
