Nothin to see here... Please move on...
Fortunately for international interests, the US Army has cleared 4 soldiers of wrongdoing and abuse at Abu Ghraib.
Sanchez is, of course, the General who shortly before the tortures occured, which detrimentally shamed the view of US' handling of prisoners in an already tenuous set of prisoner situations, essentially green-lighted the methods of interrogation which quickly spiralled into torture.
Those of you looking for accountability, no need to look here.

UPDATE
Human Rights Watch isn't too pleased with the Army's handling of this affair internally, and has called out for an inquiry to be opened to look at Donald Rumsfeld's involvement, which was not included in the Army inquiries. While the Army predictably protected its own and found that nobody is responsible for Abu Ghraib, Human Rights Watch is calling for the culpability to be divorced from the closed military and made disinterested, and those who made the choices that led to this be really held responsible.
