The General's Report, How the Investigator of Abu Graib Became it's Victim

True or false- The investigators in the Abu Graib Scandal, as part of the evidence handed to them, had a video clip of an American soldier sodomizing an Iraqi woman detainee? If you answered false, you would be wrong. I had no idea that was true, and I'd be willing to bet neither did most of my fellow Americans, and indeed that they still don't. This article tells the story of the man that was assigned the task of investigating the abuses at Abu Graib, and informing an Army hierarchy, and State Department that just did not want to know. A man that was under orders to look at no one in the chain of command above the national guardsmen that were prosecuted, that suffered derision and scorn from an arrogant Rumsfeld, and became the eventual scapegoat of that fiasco. This is the story of General Antonio Taguba, a man that lived through the Battan Death March, and returned to the army when the war ended, had a brilliant career, and ended up a victim of the very investigation that he was ordered to command. From the New Yorker, this is interesting reading, in the tradition of "the rest of the story" if we will ever know the rest, at all.
