It's a witch hunt for Rummy. Plain and simple.

My bet is that Karpinski will be ultimately responsible.

JAIL COMMANDER WROTE OF HER DISTRESS
Friday, May 07, 2004

BY JOHN HASSELL
Star-Ledger Staff

As her command of American prisons in Iraq was shaken by reports of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski wrote to a Presbyterian minister in Rahway: "Several of my soldiers are clearly guilty and will be punished. Their acts were deplorable." But, she said, "some things are simply out of my control."

Karpinski, a Rahway native whose management and oversight of the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad have been criticized by Army investigators, kept up a regular e-mail exchange with the Rev. Howard Bryant throughout her deployment in Iraq, describing the problems and frustrations she faced.
