800th MP Bde commander relieved. Phil Carter - Intel Dump ........This seems to me like something that was long overdue, especially given the fact that she's gotten an administrative reprimand already for this stuff. I think this may be a prelude to formal charges being preferred against BG Karpinski and her subordinates (like LTC Jerry Phillabaum), especially given the news over the weekend that CPT Donald Reese (the 372d MP Company commander) had pled out in exchange for his testimony. I imagine that Army prosecutors are quite willing to trade one captain's conviction for that of a colonel and general. Of course, the decision to prosecute BG Karpinski will ultimately be a political one. Once prosecutors start up the chain of command responsibility, it's not clear how high they will go. I think this decision will be made at the highest levels, but in the end, I also think we'll see some higher-ranking prosecutions in the near future. intel-dump.com
