Janis Karpinski Part2 "Seeking a Court-Martial"

In June 2003, during the US-led occupation of Iraq, Gen. Janis Karpinski was given command of the 800th Military Police Brigade, putting her in charge of the fifteen detention facilities in southern and central Iraq run by Coalition forces, including Abu Ghraib. Truthout's Geoffrey Millard recently sat down with Karpinski to get her side of the story of how the torture scandal at Abu Ghraib was allowed to happen.

Mr. Obama -

The evidence is clear. Please restore this soldier's rightful rank of BG.

Thinking back to the India-Pakistan war of 1971 which Pakistan lost, resulting in the independence of Bangladesh.

The general commanding the Pakistani forces was captured by India and released at the end of hostilities. Pakistan then drummed him out of his military career,

For the rest of his life, a couple of decades at least, he sought a court-martial. He never got one.
