Abu Ghraib report
The Daily Star - Politics - Probe clears US officers of wrongdoing:
A report into the prisoner abuse scandal at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison clears US military officers from any wrongdoing but faults them for creating conditions that allowed the mistreatment to go on. The New York Times and USA Today dailies said Thursday. The report by Major General George Fay is expected to blame at least two dozen military intelligence personnel, civilian contractors and Central Intelligence Agency officers for wrongdoing, unidentified Pentagon and military officials told the newspapers. The document, which is still under revision, is expected to be presented to the US Congress early next week, said the Times. It could be made public as early as Friday, said USA Today.This seems to be about the right balance to me. It remains to be seen what sort of punishment the various people will recieve.
