Higher-Ranking Officer Is Sought to Lead the Abu Ghraib Inquiry

"Within the last several days, an important figure in the inquiry who had previously refused to cooperate with Army investigators suddenly reversed his position and agreed to work much more closely with investigators, a senior Senate aide and a senior Pentagon official said.

That important development prompted General Fay to send some of his 29-person team back into the field to conduct more interviews, the officials said. 'A key witness, a key person who'd pled the military equivalent of the Fifth has changed his attitude, and Fay is reopening the investigation,' the Senate official said.

The officials said they did not know the identity of the witness."


Fay has requested a more senior investigating officer replace him, as he can't interview those at the highest levels of leadership within Iraq...

Hmm. Wonder who the key witness is.
