" The military has only pressed criminal charges against low-ranking soldiers at Abu Ghraib in a scandal that sparked international outrage against the United States.
On Thursday, the Army said it had relieved Army Col. Thomas Pappas, the former top military intelligence officer at Abu Ghraib, of his command, but it did not charge him criminally."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32776-2004Jun10.html"U.S. intelligence personnel ordered military dog handlers at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to use unmuzzled dogs to frighten and intimidate detainees during interrogations late last year, a plan approved by the highest-ranking military intelligence officer at the facility, according to sworn statements the handlers provided to military investigators"
This may all be leading up to Task Force 121
http://www.rotten.com/library/conspiracy/task-force-121/and the 'higher ups' may reside in this particular area of MI
"Although it hasn't been definitely established yet, rumors have been flying thick that Task Force 121 may have been involved in directing interrogations at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. TF121 has the particular misfortune to have been sponsored by the Defense Department's top spook, Stephen Cambone.
An Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Cambone is more or less the top civilian exclusively responsible for military intelligence, including collection and covert operations. Cambone is an obvious choice to "take one for the team," and it looks like the Congressional overseers of the Defense Department are ready to take him as the first in a series of sacrificial lambs....
One of the benefits of using a group like Task Force 121 as a secret army, carrying out the country's dirty work all over the world, is that Special Forces mission are not included under the War Powers Act."
So far, the little people (as Leona Helmsly would have put it) are taking it for the team.
