After the sickening photographs showing American soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison appeared last spring, US President George Bush said the disgraceful conduct had been the work of a few bad apples who would be brought to justice. In the first contested court-martial relating to abuse at the prison, the alleged ringleader, Specialist Charles Graner, was sentenced on January 15th to ten years in jail and given a dishonourable discharge; he had been found guilty on all five charges of assault, maltreatment, indecent acts, conspiracy and dereliction of duty. Four other soldiers have entered guilty pleas, including three who have been given custodial sentences, one for eight years. Another three soldiers are awaiting military trials, though in view of Graner's sentence they may now be tempted to plea-bargain.
