Abu Ghraib's message for the rank and file | csmonitor.com: "If any lesson can be drawn from the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse legal fallout so far, it may be this: The lowest-level soldier has the highest level of responsibility. The rank and file must clearly know right from wrong - both in terms of their own actions and orders from superiors.
'What the average soldier is going to take away from Abu Ghraib is a reinforcement of what he learned at boot camp - that he's responsible for his actions,' says Mary Hall, a former military judge now in private practice. 'These Abu Ghraib courts-martial are a blunt reminder to even the newest private that they have a duty to just say 'no.' '"
