(May 12) -- The woman at the center of the Iraq prison abuse scandal says she was just following orders. Army Private Lynndie England is seen in several pictures smiling, standing next to naked Iraqi prisoners.

In her only interview, England told CBS station, KCNC-TV in Denver, that the entire ordeal has been a nightmare.

KCNC-TV Reporter: "You're telling me this was condoned, this was encouraged, you got pats on the back, but five months later, you're the worst person in the world. What's that been like?"

Lynndie England: "Crazy, I mean, it's unbelievable, it's like a nightmare. At least in Iraq you knew, different uniforms, who was on your side. Here it's like I don't know who's for me and who's against me. It's like everyone's out to get me."

KCNC-TV Reporter: "There is a photograph of you holding an Iraqi prisoner on a leash. How did that come about?"

Lynndie England: "I was instructed by persons in higher rank stand there -- hold this leash, look at the camera. They took a picture for SI-OP and that's all I know."

And more pictures and video are coming out -- exclusive home video from inside Abu Ghraib prison.
