US General Relieved of Command

In Torture
The Command Post

From Reuters via the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) :

<<<

The US Army has relieved Brigadier General Jani Karpinski of her command amid evidence of dereliction of duty in the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal.

However, it has exonerated Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the former top US commander in Iraq, of wrongdoing in the Abu Ghraib scandal.

A 10-member team began assessing any wrongdoing by top brass in Iraq in October.

It has found that Lt Gen Sanchez and three other senior officers had not committed dereliction of duty
.

These four will not face criminal or administrative punishment
.

But the investigation has found that “allegations of dereliction of duty were substantiated” in the case of Army Reserve Brigadier General Janis Karpinski.
[…]
The official says that Brig Gen Karpinski will not face criminal charges but has received an official letter of reprimand from a senior Army general.

She has also been relieved of her command.

Brig Gen Karpinski had been suspended, but not officially removed, from her command and removed from active duty last year.
