Although it was military police who are accused of the actual abuse, Pappas, commander of the Germany-based 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, was given operational control of the prison last year.

He is accused of failing to ensure his soldiers were properly trained and understood prisoner protections guaranteed under the Geneva Conventions.

According to the report, several of the military police personnel told investigators that they were encouraged to abuse prisoners by the intelligence personnel under Pappas' command, presumably to break the Iraqis' will and make them more likely to cooperate.

Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba wrote in the report that "specifically, I suspect that Col. Thomas M. Pappas" and several others "were either directly or indirectly responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib."

This is NOT an isolated case.
