Army staff sergeant pleads guilty to Abu Ghraib charges
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A U.S. Army staff sergeant pleaded guilty yesterday to abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghaib prison, telling a military court that prisoners were forced to submit to public nudity and degrading treatment "for military intelligence purposes."
Army reservist Ivan "Chip" Frederick, 38, of Buckingham, Va., confessed to eight counts of conspiracy, dereliction of duty, maltreatment of detainees, assault and committing
an indecent act.
He was expected to be sentenced today and could receive 11 years in prison.
Frederick is the highest-ranking soldier charged in the scandal.
The scandal broke in April with the publication of photos and videos showing American troops abusing and humiliating naked Iraqi detainees.
His lawyer, Gary Myers, said Frederick agreed to cooperate fully in further investigations and would testify at courts-martial for other soldiers.
Frederick also blamed his chain of command, saying he was given no training or support in supervising detainees.
He said he only learned of regulations against mistreatment after the abuses occurred between October and December last year.
France punishing students for wearing head scarves
WORLD
The Associated Press
PARIS — France has quietly begun expelling Muslim girls for wearing head scarves to public schools in defiance of a new law banning conspicuous religious symbols, treading carefully for fear of endangering two French hostages in Iraq.
The expulsions of at least five girls since Tuesday were the first since the law went into effect at the start of the academic year on Sept. 2.
They were kept low-key because the French journalists' captors had demanded the measure be abolished.
The Associated Press
Another five girls could be expelled this week as the Education Ministry gave school districts the signal to start taking action against 72 students who could not be persuaded to obey the law.
