What was the name of the soldier who blew the whistle regarding Abu Ghraib?


That beautiful man would be Sgt. Samuel Provance

May 21 — A witness who told ABCNEWS he believed the military was covering up the extent of abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison was today stripped of his security clearance and told he may face prosecution because his comments were "not in the national interest."

Sgt. Samuel Provance said in addition to his revoked security clearance, he was transferred to a different platoon, and his record was officially "flagged," meaning he cannot be promoted or given any awards or honors.

Military intelligence analyst Sgt. Samuel Provance told ABCNEWS the sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib began as a technique ordered by military intelligence interrogators.

Provance said he was told he will face administrative action for failing to report what he knew at the time and for failing to take steps to stop the abuse.

"I see it as an effort to intimidate Sgt. Provance and any other soldier whose conscience is bothering him, and who wants to come forward and tell what really happened at Abu Ghraib," said his attorney Scott Horton.

  4. Joe Darby, an Army Reservist stationed there at the time borrowed some photos discs and found those photos on one of them. He was the first to bring attention to the situation.
