On Capitol Hill Tuesday, the author of the Pentagon’s report on Iraqi prison abuses, Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, blamed a failure of leadership for the Iraqi prison problems but he denied there were orders from above to carry out the abuse. Taguba and the Pentagon undersecretary for intelligence Stephen Cabone clashed over who had control of the prison, military intelligence or military police. Taguba said his research found that military intelligence were given the authority for handling the detainees even though that went against military doctrine.
