Hearings probe culpability in Abu Ghraib abuses and leadership failure
The hearings examine percented culpability among military police and interrogators over abuses at Abu Ghraib. Taguba cites no policy authorizing the acts and pins lapses on leadership from Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski downward while senators press on whether higher orders were involved. Critics argue abuses were planned by others and a breakdown in discipline and training allowed misconduct to occur.
