“On January 13, 2004, Sergeant (SGT) Joseph M. Darby, a twenty-three-year-old U.S. Army MP [Military Police] who worked in the office at Abu Ghraib, left a note with a CD containing photographs of prisoner abuses on the desk of a Criminal Investigation Division (CID) agent. Darby received the material from Corporal (CPL) Charles Graner and agonized about whether or not to bring it to the attention of the authorities. In the end, as he later said to a congressional committee, his decision was made because ‘[the abuses] violated everything I personally believed in and all I’d been taught about the rules of war.’ ”
