As the tales of abuse at Abu Ghraib grow more disturbing, so do the accusations against military leaders who may have tolerated or even encouraged such behavior.
While lower ranking reservists charged with abuse at Abu Ghraib stand trial this week, two new reports allegedly spread the blame higher and wider. One investigation is said to implicate more than a dozen others at the prison, civilians, CIA agents and Military Intelligence officers. The other inquiry points a finger straight at the Pentagon, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
