He'll go to prison and those responsible in the chain of command who are hiding the truth will draw a free pass. What else is new?

Provance will most likely not go to prison for going to the press. Most likely, he will be treated fairly by the very chain of command you deride. My guess is, he will be demoted at most (which would be entirely justified).
Also, what makes you so sure the chain of command is hiding anything? Just because they didn't run to the press, like a Sgt we know, doesn't mean people aren't providing all sorts of Abu Ghraib information to the investigators working the case. What do you want? Do you expect the military to constantly brief the media on every step of the investigation?
