FORT MEADE, Md. - A military court acquitted an Army officer Tuesday of failing to control U.S. soldiers who abused detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, but it found him guilty of disobeying an order not to discuss the abuse investigation....
Prosecutors recommended that Jordan be reprimanded and fined one month's pay, about $7,400. The defense asked the panel for no punishment.

Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan was the only officer to go on trial for what happened at Abu Ghraib.
The Army takes care of its own.
