A US army reservist who appeared in several of the most infamous abuse photos taken by guards at Abu Ghraib prison was sentenced today to six months jail.
Specialist Sabrina Harman was sentenced for her role in the scandal that rocked the US military's image at home and abroad.
She was yesterday convicted on six of the seven counts she faced for mistreating detainees at the Baghdad lockup in late 2003.
She faced a maximum of five years in prison, though prosecutors asked the jury to give her three years.
With credit for time served, Harman's actual sentence will be just more than four months.
Harman, 27, of Lorton, Virginia, was the second US soldier tried and convicted in the scandal.
During today's sentencing hearing, she tearfully apologised for mistreating Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
"As a soldier and military police officer, I failed my duties and failed my mission to protect and defend," Harman said.
"I not only let down the people in Iraq, but I let down every single soldier that serves today.

"My actions potentially caused an increased hatred and insurgency towards the United States, putting soldiers and civilians at greater risk.
"I take full responsibility for my actions ... The decisions I made were mine and mine alone."
I hope someone kicks her in the cunt (http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/Female-soldier-at-Abu-Ghraib-jailed-for-six-months/2005/05/18/1116361593714.html)
