Abu Ghraib Officer Acquitted Of Cruelty, Supervision Failures...Found Guilty Of Disobeying Order Not To Discuss Investigation
A military court Tuesday acquitted an Army officer of failing to control U.S. soldiers who abused detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, but it found him guilty of disobeying an order not to discuss the abuse investigation.
Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan was the only officer and the last of 12 defendants to go to trial in the 2003 Abu Ghraib scandal that embarrassed the Pentagon and shocked the Muslim world.
