According to the General in charge of the facility, cell blocks 1a and 1b (the cell blocks where the incidents took place) were under operational control of military intelligence contractors.
According to the soldiers involved in the incidents they were actting on the orders of these military intelligence contractors.
So the questions are: Who hired these contractors?, For what purpose were they hired?, Who issued them thier orders?, And who are they legally responsible to?.
I really have to wonder if she (the reserve one star who was in charge of the prison) is not just attempting to redirect blame in a desperate attempt to CYA. I'm not saying that her excuses are totally implausable, just that it sounds real suspicious.
There are several holes in her story. Not the least of which is she claimed she reported the problems to higher ranking officers, and nothing happened. Yet a grunt passes a couple of photos to someone in the military staff and the whole thing goes public. Does that not seem at least a little odd to you? I could go on, but if you are convinced she's telling the truth there isn't much point.
Oh, and Gixer, there was a thread about this the day it went public. However, Boroda came in and just generally made a total prettythang of himself and Skuzzy slammed the padlock on it shortly thereafter. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Boroda since.
The gist of the original thread was a total disgust for what happened. It is a great dishonor to the nation in general, and the military in particular. That pretty much sums it up.
