The Army’s investigation of the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, known as the Fay Report, was issued on August 25, 2004. “The report…criticized Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq when the abuse took place. ‘We did not find Sanchez culpable, but we did find him responsible for the things that happened,’ [investigation overseer Gen. Paul] Kern said. He said Sanchez put great emphasis on getting intelligence from prisoners to stop insurgent attacks against U.S.-led coalition forces.”
