Um. Yeah. Okay, then.
Shoplifting Charge Dogs Iraq Gen.
Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who claims she has been made a scapegoat for the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, is the subject of an investigation by the Army Inspector General involving an alleged shoplifting incident in October of 2002, one year before the abuses began, reports CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin.
According to military sources, Karpinski was caught shoplifting a $22 bottle of perfume from a military department store - or PX - at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
When CBS News asked her about it, she said it never happened.
When CBS' Martin asked if Karpinski denied she was ever arrested or picked up in the MacDill Air Force Base store for shoplifting, she responded, "That's correct."
