Nuremberg Defense Selective Application Watch From today's Chicago Tribune we learn "what happens in the army, stays in the army".

The Army on Friday disciplined a military intelligence analyst who told The Tribune about the mistreatment of a 16-year-old boy and other abuses by interrogators at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Sgt. Samuel Provance, 30, said his battalion commander instructed him to turn in his top-secret clearance and was informed he would be reassigned. Provance said he also was told his record is "flagged," meaning he cannot receive promotions, awards or honors. He added that he was warned he might be subject to further disciplinary action for discussing abuses at the prison with the news media. "It's in reference to what's happened--for going public," the sergeant said. "It's not unexpected." ...This week Provance described how interrogators abused the 16-year-old to end his father's resistance to questioning. The teen was stripped naked, thrown in the open back of a truck, driven around on a cold night, splattered with mud and then presented to his father, he said. The father then broke down and cried after the incident, and told interrogators he would tell them what they wanted, Provance said.
