Standard military investigation results - clear the officers, put the enlisted people in jail.

This is exactly the "wrong" result, and it shows that the leadership is corrupt.

What about the AAC Brigadier in command?

I read this on the front page of the NYT this morning.
Except I didn't.

If the soldiers took it upon themselves to do these things they are responsible. If there was negligence in oversight it should be punished too. But that doesn't excuse the soldiers' conduct. Unless they were encouraged or ordered to do these things, they are responsible. If they thought they had tacit permission from higher ups they wouldn't have waited until 3Am and posted lookouts.
These acts went way beyond "fun" into humiliation. No decent human being piles up naked men and takes pictures with a woman pointing at them. They did more to defeat us in this war than any division of the Republican Guard. Almost as much damage as the MSM.

Do you think it was Pentagon orders?

Sigh.
I guess we can expect ANOTHER month of Abu Ghraib headlines in the NYT. I thought they had gone away.
Expect the following retort: there's a cover-up, who's covering-up the cover-up, who authorized the purchase of dog collars, etc. More of the same.
The actual report of the investigation will be ignored.
