novapsycheNew head for US jail abuse probe
The US army has announced another change to its investigations into the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal.
It is appointing a more senior general to take charge of the probe into the role played by military intelligence interrogators at the prison.
The army named three-star Lt Gen Anthony Jones as the new chief investigator.
Crucially, he is slightly more senior than the top US commander in Iraq, Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez.
In terms of military protocol, that will facilitate questioning Gen Sanchez, whose own role in the affair has come under scrutiny.
