Army Promotes 3 Officers Faulted for Performance in Iraq [GITMO]
Outrageous!


/WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon has promoted or nominated for promotion two senior Army officers who oversaw or advised detention and interrogation operations in Iraq during the height of the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal.

The Army promoted Maj. Gen. Walter Wodjakowski, the former deputy commander of American forces in Iraq, earlier this month to be the head the Army's infantry training school at Fort Benning, Ga.

An independent inquiry led by a former defense secretary, James Schlesinger, last August faulted all three officers for their actions in Iraq, but a subsequent review by the Army's inspector general exonerated all of them, clearing the way for their advancement, military officials said.

2. All soldiers involved with AbuGharib should be released
from jail and court martials "undone." It was either right or wrong - bush is having it both ways. The "lowlies" are guilty, the "uppers" are just fine.
