"Yesterday one of the Generals stated that the perpetrators couldn't name specific officers who were giving the orders which is one of the reasons a seperate investigation was neccesary"

The brass wants to limit the damage. If they can, they will set it up so that the guards take the fall. From their point of view this makes sense. Why ruin the career of an officer over something this stupid. From their point of view this is just a public relations blunder.

The military was addressing this and started filing charges against people before the photos hit the media. They are not reacting to "limit the damage", they found wrongdoing and were and continue addressing it.

And Janis Karpinski will be charged, I am confident. Taguba more or less called her a liar yesterday.
