Abu Ghraib: And The Verdict Is…
by Buck • 2:31 pm

Innocent of the actual offenses… Guilty of talking about it. And black is white. Up is down.

I know being labeled a republican meant “full and complete pardon and automatic forgiveness for any and all offenses.” I guess the army has the same ideology. Both have the “do as I say, not as I do” mentality.

Split verdict for Abu Ghraib interrogation chief

He’s found guilty of disobeying an order, could get up to 5 years

Army Lt. Col. Steven J. JordanFORT MEADE, Md. - A military court Tuesday acquitted an Army officer of charges that he failed to control U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, but it found him guilty of disobeying an order.
[...]

It acquitted [Army Lt. Col. Steven J.] Jordan of three counts: cruelty and maltreatment for subjecting detainees to forced nudity and intimidation by dogs; dereliction of a duty to properly train and supervise soldiers in humane interrogation rules; and failing to obey a lawful general order by ordering dogs used for interrogations without higher approval.

Jordan was found guilty of one: disobeying a general’s order not to talk to others about the investigation into the abuse.
