Defense lawyers may question U S generals in prison scandal
Defense lawyers for two Abu Ghraib defendants won the right to depose top U S generals to argue their clients acted under lawful orders. Judge Col. James Pohl allowed questioning of Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez and Gen John Abizaid, with Maj Gen Geoffrey Miller and others potentially called. The move aims to probe responsibility up the chain over detainee abuse while secretary Rumsfeld was not ordered to testify.
