Baghdad - The commander of the US military prison in Iraq which held former dictator Saddam Hussein has been detained by military police and is under investigation, a military spokesperson said on Thursday.
Lieutenant Colonel William Steele will face a hearing before a panel of officers to decide whether he should face a court martial, Lieutenant Colonel Josslyn Aberle told AFP in Baghdad, without specifying the charges.
"He has been detained and is now in Kuwait. His current status is that he is in confinement and waiting for his Article 32 hearing. All other details will be released soon, including the charges against him," she said.
According to the website of the US television network NBC, citing a statement from the US army, Steele could be prosecuted for "aiding the enemy" and having improper relationships with his translator and another Iraqi woman.
The military in Iraq was not able to immediately confirm this.
Prior to his arrest, Steel was the commander of Camp Cropper, a major US detention facility outside Baghdad used to hold "high value detainees" such as Iraq's former dictator Saddam, who was executed on December 30.

Steele could be prosecuted for "aiding the enemy" and having improper relationships with his translator and another Iraqi woman. Them durn translators again... they still don't know what the meaning of 'is' is.

WAIT!!!
Is this the SAME Col Steele who was CAPT Steele in Black Hawk Down??
IF SO, that means he is the SAME LtCol Steele who issued orders to KILL EVERY MILITARY AGED MALE, had 5 of his men charged with MURDER for it, and he himself just got an article 15 for it!!
SSgt Girouard just went to jail for covering for one of his men for that incident while not shooting anyone himself!!!
IF this is THAT Col Steele , then he is a piece of scum, not worthy of respect!

If it is established that any of our men and/or women lost their lives because this guy traded military intel for sexual favors he needs to be put up against a wall and executed by firing squad.

Not the same guy.
Col Mike Steele is now back at Ft. Campbell.
This guy is not a full bird.

Btw, he got a reprimand, not a article 15. End of career, anyway.
