unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: That's some good news for Janis Karpinski. She was left holding the bag when the Abu Gharib scandal exploded. Of course the CIA destroyed the (evidence) pictures and bushco tried to dump this into the memory hole.

"Following Orders" did not work as a defense in Nürnberg, nor should it here.
