Abu Ghraib Commander Let off the Hook (Nathan)

Jump to Comments

The US army has rejected the court martial of Lieutenant Steven Jordan, the only officer who was court martialled in the Abu Ghraib scandal. 

Many human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have said that the decision sends a “troubling message” and prevents anyone from being held accountable.  However, it was clear that Jordan’s role in the abuses was very limited and therefore Jordan was only given a criminal reprimand.
