DUGSPUR - Carroll County resident Tom Harman knows how the world will remember Spc. Sabrina Harman. His daughter is the woman crouching behind a pyramid of naked and hooded prisoners in one of the notorious photos from Abu Ghraib in Iraq.

She is the woman bending over a dead Iraqi in another photograph, giving a rubber-gloved thumbs-up and grinning an oddly jubilant smile.

In other messages to her father, Sabrina Harman wrote that her commanders, including Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, knew about and condoned detainee abuse in the prison.

Sanchez, who was then commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, was later cleared of culpability in the abuse by an Army inspector general's report.
