"The Army general who investigated the abuse of U.S.-held prisoners in Iraq today blamed a "failure of leadership" for the problem but said he found no evidence that the soldiers who committed the mistreatment were acting on orders from senior officers."

I would be surprised if such evidence was found. However, plea bargaining takes place in the military justice system, just as it does in civilian life.

An field investigation often doesn't reveal the extent of a situation. That often only comes out later, during the rest of the process, and these enlisted personnel may have more to tell as the criminal investigation continues.

I don't know what the outcome will be; I'll have to wait like everyone else.
