The reason that it is not being reported is that the Marine Corps is quietly taking care of business - as always.
The marines that committed the crimes have been disciplined and this is the C.O.'s responsibility - he knows it and should accept it. Ask anyone in command and they will confirm that THEY are the ones RESPONSIBLE.
You can delegate authority to underlings, but you can NEVER delegate responsibility.

I wonder if someone could help this ol' Marine out and tell me what the "crimes" were. This article leaves much to be desired.

Completely agree, but what the article describes is not what I would think of when told someone was tortured.
My question is rather straightforward: Is making someone stand for long periods of time torture? My wife, when she worked retail, was literally on her feet for 8 to 10 hours a day. I do consider it hard, but hardly torture.
