To whom did Darby expose the "torture and scandal, to his superiors who then went on to conduct an investigation, or to the press?

The thing about Abu Ghraib is, there was already a full inquiry and a complete report on file by the time the MSM got hold of a few pictures. Instead of turning it into a story about how military justice works, and how the US doesn't permit or condone these actions, it was turned into a "scandal."

Go figure.

He slipped the evidence anonymously under CID's door, then they investigated it.

An Army spokesperson told the press corps that an investigation was underway back in January 2004.

Only after 60 Minutes ran an expose of some of the pictures that were released did the Abu Graibe incident become a scandal in April 2004.

As a Specialist who was outranked by ringleader SGT Graner, he took appropriate actions to disclose these reprehensible acts by a few rogue MP's.
