...Army investigation has found that while neither Jordan or Pappas personally participated in the abuse of prisoners, both bore some responsibility by virtue of their command status. Other investigations have said that Jordan was inexperienced in interrogation and intelligence collection, often deferring decisions to lower-ranking soldiers under his command to whom he provided inadequate supervision. The Army has offered no explanation as to why Pappas faces less serious charges than Jordan, or why the charges against Jordan are only being brought now, when those against Pappas were settled last year...
