The U.S. Army has thrown out the conviction of the only officer court-martialed in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. The military has announced that Lt. Col. Steven Jordan will only face an administrative reprimand. Jordan oversaw the Abu Ghraib interrogations center in Iraq from September to December 2003. Up until last week, Steven Jordan was the only officer or civilian leader to have been held criminally responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.
