 | | Aug 24: According to the commission investigating the Abu Ghraib prison abuse, the chain of command, all the way to the Pentagon, is at fault for the incidents. |
 | | The mistreatment of prisoners, described by the commission as “acts of brutality and purposeless sadism,” would have been avoided with proper training, leadership and oversight, the report said. |
 | | In most cases, the abuse was not carried out with the purpose of achieving intelligence from prisoners, Schlesinger said, but by bored soldiers on the nightshift at Abu Ghraib. |
