First officer is charged in Abu Ghraib scandal | Salon.com News: "The Army announced Friday that for the first time an officer, Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan, will face criminal charges because of the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

The Army contends that Jordan, who headed the interrogation center at the prison, 'did oppress Iraqi detainees ... by subjecting them to forced nudity and intimidation by military working dogs.' Jordan is also accused of repeatedly lying to investigators during two separate probes into Abu Ghraib and failing to obey the orders of Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, about the proper use of military dogs."
