Where Exactly Does the Abu Ghraib Buck Stop?

Not a the top according to Gen. Paul J. Kern, who supervised the Army's most recent investigation, Marine Gen. George R. Fay,and Lt. Gen. Anthony R. Jones who explained just how that works to reporters yesterday. Though top brass including Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, has been found to be "responsible" for failure to supervise their subordinates, handed down unclear and in some cases illegal policies, and who ignored signs of abuse, but not "culpable" because they did not have a direct hand in the torture at overseas military prisons. Several medical personnel, military guards, and even private contractors are expected to be tried for their role in the abuse scandal. These cases are expected to take years to complete, but top brass faces no charges. President Bush has made it clear that he will not call for the resignation of Rumsfeld over this matter.
