Army Officer, Two Soldiers Charged in Afghan Prisoner Abuse Case
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB95S1UKDE.html

FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) - An Army officer and two more of his soldiers from a reserve unit have been charged in a prisoner abuse investigation in Afghanistan, the Army announced Tuesday.

Capt. Christopher M. Beiring, who led the Cincinnati-based 377th Military Police Company, was charged with dereliction of duty and making a false official statement. He is the first officer to be charged in the investigation. snip

He also is accused of failing to take steps to correct the soldiers' actions - as directed by his superior and a legal adviser - after a detainee died at a detention center at Bagram Airfield. In addition, Beiring allegedly lied about training his soldiers received.

Also charged were Staff Sgt. Brian L. Doyle and Sgt. Duane M. Grubb, both from the same reserve unit Beiring commanded.
