Former Abu Ghraib Intel Staffer Says Army Concealed Involvement in Abuse Scandal
FOR FULL STORY SEE:
Dozens of soldiers - other than the seven military police reservists who have been charged - were involved in the abuse
at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, and there is an effort under way in the Army to hide it, a key witness in the investigation
told ABCNEWS.
"There's definitely a cover-up," the witness, Sgt. Samuel Provance, said. "People are either telling themselves or being
told to be quiet."
Provance, 30, was part of the 302nd Military Intelligence Battalion stationed at Abu Ghraib last September. He spoke to
ABCNEWS despite orders from his commanders not to.
"What I was surprised at was the silence," said Provance. "The collective silence by so many people that had to be
involved, that had to have seen something or heard something."
Provance, now stationed in Germany, ran the top secret computer network used by military intelligence at the prison.
