All but the criminal investigations appear to be over.

U.S. Troops Reprimanded for Prison Abuse
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Seven U.S. soldiers have been reprimanded in the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners, and the U.S. officer who oversaw Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison suggested Monday that more may be involved.
The reprimands were the first known punishment of soldiers involved in the mistreatment of prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison.
On the orders of Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, six of the soldiers — all officers and noncommissioned officers — have received the most severe level of administrative reprimand in the U.S. military, a military official said on condition of anonymity. A seventh officer was given a more lenient admonishment.
The official said he believed investigations of the officers were complete and they would not face further action or court martial. However, the reprimands could spell the end of their careers.
