Abu Ghraib whistleblower's ordeal
Edited on Tue Aug-07-07 08:23 AM by TechBear_Seattle
Not to be found in the US media, of course.

Abu Ghraib whistleblower's ordeal

The US soldier who exposed the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison found himself a marked man after his anonymity was blown in the most astonishing way by Donald Rumsfeld.

When Joe Darby saw the horrific photos of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison he was stunned.

....

His decision to hand them over rather than keep quiet changed his life forever.

The military policeman has only been allowed to talk about that struggle very recently, and in his first UK interview, for BBC Radio 4's The Choice, he told Michael Buerk how he made that decision and how he fears for the safety of his family.


The article continues at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6930197.stm

If I can find a link to a webcast of the interview, I will post that as well. Please recommend so folks can find this latter today!
