...against Miller of dereliction and lying to Congress about his role in the scandal. The report concludes that at Gitmo Miller was unaware a canine had been used to intimidate alleged "20th hijacker" Mohammed al-Qahtani, or that al-Qahtani was forced to don women's underwear and perform dog tricks--even though Miller was intimately involved in planning al-Qahtani's interrogation. The report even lavishes praise on Miller, noting the "strength, energy and effectiveness of [his] leadership." Miller's military lawyer told TIME: "The IG is entirely correct in fact...

...After Smith's trial is over, Sgt. Santos Cardona, a canine handler who worked with Sgt. Smith at Abu Ghraib, will be tried for his alleged similar abuses involving his dog. Sgt. Cardona is contesting the charges against him and is expected to invoke some of the same defense arguments as Sgt. Smith. So far in the Abu Ghraib scandal, only low-ranking soldiers have been subject to prison terms, with Graner, often described as the ringleader, sentenced to more than 10 years...
