Neil Abercrombie: “I can tell you who has been notified. I can tell you who has been held…”

On the recordMay 5, 2004

I can tell you who has been notified. I can tell you who has been held responsible. The New York Times, perhaps the same article, indicated yesterday, the senior American commander in Iraq has ordered the first punishments in the abuse of prisoners by American soldiers there, issuing severe reprimand to six who served in supervisory positions and milder levels of admonishment to a seventh. Those in supervisory positions received a reprimand or a letter of admonishment. However, six subordinates accused of carrying out the abuse already face criminal charges.
