Disposition of Abuse Allegations

Individuals Alleged to Have Engaged in Wrongful Conduct in Connection with the Treatment of Detainees

The following is a list of military personnel ? by rank and age where available¹ ? alleged to have engaged in wrongful conduct in connection with detainee mistreatment after September 11.? Some have been charged with and convicted of crimes in the military justice system, others have been acquitted of military criminal charges or had those charges against them dropped, still others have had allegations against them handled administratively by the military. The list also includes one CIA contractor who was subject to federal court criminal proceedings.? The list was compiled from press accounts of court martial proceedings and in some instances from transcripts of those proceedings.? While the list does not purport to be exhaustive, the Task Force believes that it is illustrative of who has borne responsibility to date for mistreating detainees, and who, particularly by omission, has not.
