Gen. Karpinski Demoted for Abu Ghraib

HeadlineMay 06, 2005

In another Abu Ghraib related story, President Bush has approved the demotion of Army Reserve General Janis Karpinski, whose unit was in charge during the Abu Ghraib prisoner torture scandal. The Army also said three other, more senior generals had been cleared of wrongdoing in the prisoner abuse cases. That means Karpinski is the only general to be disciplined. She has said publicly that she was not given full authority over Abu Ghraib and that responsibility lies much higher up the chain of command.
