Could It Be Because He's Innocent?

The only Army officer to face a court-martial in relation to detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib was exonerated this week. Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan was ruled not responsible for training or supervising soldiers who have been convicted of abusing detainees at the prison. The Washington Post laments the fact that no high-ranking officer will serve jail time for the abuse, along with the anti-war left:

"The military was not interested in pursuing real accountability," John Sifton, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch.

Or, could it be that these high-ranking officers were actually...[drum roll, please]...innocent?

There's my two cents.
