As for the Army report, it took quite a while before reports of torture triggered Tagube's investigation, so the Army didn't exactly jump

And I gather you noticed just how quickly the civilian leadership in the Pentagon decided to actually address the problems

The abuse occured in November. The investigation began in a few weeks. The investigation and its results, and new management for Abu Ghraib, were announced in January. You have some expectations.

I think that your criticism of the process for investigating the Abu Ghraib incidents is off base. The internal investigation followed the path that those things do, sez she who has personally done bunches of them. It was overtaken by events when it went public, which distorted the process. There's no reason to think that, left to their own devices, this wouldn't have been dealt with appropriately.
