KEYSER, West Virginia: Lynndie England, one of the most recognizable figures of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq, has a new role as a volunteer member of a local recreation board in the United States.

Roy Hardy, the England family's attorney, said England, 24, landed the unpaid position by contributing her knowledge of computers, electronics and graphics for a strawberry festival in Keyser.

"When (council members) saw how hard she worked for the festival, they didn't hesitate to put her on the board," said Hardy, who is also a board member.

England, who now works in Hardy's law firm as a legal assistant, was released in March from a military prison in San Diego, California, after serving half her 36-month sentence. She was convicted of six counts involving prisoner mistreatment.

6. Maybe the folks up there in Keyster need to have a dingleberry

festival instead of a strawberry festival. Can you believe she didn't do 10 years? Can you believe Rummy didn't do life?
