Officials say the Army has cleared four top officers of all 
allegations of wrongdoing in connection with prisoner abuse at Abu 
Ghraib, and those officers will not be punished.

One of the four is Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who became the senior 
commander in Iraq in June 2003, two months after the fall of Baghdad.

Sanchez had been faulted in earlier investigations for leadership 
lapses that may have contributed to prisoner abuse. He is the 
highest-ranking officer to face official allegations of leadership 
failures in Iraq, but he has not been accused of criminal violations.

Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib were physically abused and sexually 
humiliated by military police and intelligence soldiers in the fall of 
2003. Photos of some of the abuse created a firestorm of criticism 
worldwide.
