Only one officer, Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan, was charged with a crime as result of the mistreatment and torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Jordan was convicted last year on a single charge of disobeying orders not to discuss the Abu Ghraib investigation, but he has now been cleared of all responsibility for that crime. Jordan was never involved in any of the abusive practices carried carried out in the prison. (Washington Post)
