	Soldier pleads guilty to failing in duty at Abu Ghraib - The Boston Globe
		Megan Ambuhl, 30, of Centreville, Va., entered her plea Saturday morning in Baghdad as part of a deal with prosecutors, who agreed to drop charges of conspiracy, maltreatment of detainees, and indecent acts.
		Ambuhl was praised by several detainees for treating them well, and in at least one instance she aided a detainee who was having trouble breathing after being punched in the chest by another soldier, the documents showed.
		Volzer said Ambuhl's punishment is appropriate because of her limited involvement, but he said he is dismayed by the lack of accountability by higher-ranking officials who he says condoned the abuse.

	Abu Ghraib Court Martial, Ambuhl
		For standing by while abuse occurred and failing to intervene or report it, Ambuhl was convicted on Oct. 30, 2004, of dereliction of duty and sentenced to reduction in rank to private and loss of a half-month’s pay.
		Ambuhl reportedly was present during sexually humiliating abuse including the formation and photographing of a human pyramid of nude detainees, and was partially visible in a photograph of Pfc.
		While admitting the wrongfulness of Ambuhl’s failure to intervene, Ambuhl’s attorney also has argued that she neglected to report the abuse because of the involvement of superiors and military intelligence personnel.

	2 charges against reservist dropped - baltimoresun.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Megan M. Ambuhl -- one of seven Western Maryland-based Army reservists charged with abusing Iraqi prisoners -- is a victim of "guilt by association" because she was standing near Pfc.
		Ambuhl was referred for a general court-martial on the conspiracy charge and a count of dereliction of duty, but two of the four original charges brought against her were dropped, he said.
		Ambuhl, one of three female reservists facing charges, has attracted the least publicity, partly because she has not appeared to date in any of the widely publicized photographs.

		Megan Ambuhl, the Army reservist who provoked the least publicity, scrutiny and outrage among those charged in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, pleaded guilty Saturday in Baghdad to dereliction of duty and received a sentence with no jail time.
		Ambuhl's attorney, Harvey J. Volzer of Washington, D.C., said his client is "as pleased as she can be" with the outcome, which carries no felony criminal record and will allow her to soon return to her civilian job as a lab technician in the northern Virginia suburb of Herndon.
		Ambuhl is the third member of the 372nd, based in Cresaptown, Md., and the fourth soldier overall to plead guilty in the scandal.

	Former Abu Ghraib Guard Speaks Out - washingtonpost.com
		Megan Ambuhl: He did not say that, that was a misquote and he should be let out now because he and the others in prison have served more prison time than any other soldier sentenced for similar cases in over 70 examples I give on my Web site, http://www.supportmpscapegoats.com/, including murders.
		Megan Ambuhl: I am working to set the truth straight now by myself and if my political opinion slipped in, then it is a part of how this case has shaped me seeing as how much truth was twisted to make it seem like we did this on our one.
		Megan Ambuhl: They were standing around, approving of this stuff; there was the NCOIC who was on the block every single night, and OIC who I believe never even received a letter of reprimand and who is now back at work in Congress.
