US Army reprimands officer for disobeying order
A US military jury today sentenced the only officer court-martialed in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal to a reprimand, sparing him any prison time for disobeying an order to keep silent about the prison abuse investigation.
The jury in Fort Meade, Maryland had acquitted Army Lt Col Steven Jordan a day earlier of all three charges directly related to the mistreatment of detainees at the US-run prison in Iraq.
