Iraq prison abuse general suspended
The Army general who was in charge of the US prison guards accused of abusing Iraqis has been suspended from command of the 800th Military Police Brigade, officials said.
Brigadier General Janis Karpinski and other officers in her brigade were blamed by Army investigators for paying too little attention to the prison’s day-to-day operations and not acting strongly enough to discipline soldiers under her command for violating standard procedures.
