"Abu Ghraib guard tells of worse abuse"

England, appearing on NBC's Dateline programme, said the pictures did not convey the full extent of the abuse that took place in the cell block.

"I know worse things were happening over there," said the 22-year-old convict.

She said one night she heard blood-curdling screams coming from the block's shower room, where non-military interrogators had taken an Arab detainee.

"They had the shower on to muffle it, but it wasn't helping," she recalled.

"They never screamed like that when we were humiliating. But this guy was like screaming bloody murder. I mean it still haunts me. I can still hear it just like it happened yesterday."
