U.S. Soldiers: Army Is Still Covering Up Problem

HeadlineMay 19, 2004

Meanwhile in other developments in the prison abuse scandal, a key witness in the military’s investigation as to what happened in the prison broke orders from his commanders and spoke recently with ABC News. Sgt. Samuel Provance, who was part of the 302nd Military Intelligence Battalion, said dozens of soldiers were involved in the abuse. He said “There’s definitely a cover-up. People are either telling themselves or being told to be quiet.” Provance, who ran the top secret computer network used by military intelligence at the prison, said he didn’t personally witness the abuse but it was often talked about at the prison.
