“There was a news report published May 23, 2004, which suggests that Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of Multinational Forces-Iraq was aware of, and in some instances, present at Abu Ghraib while detainee abuse was occurring,” the U.S. military said in a statement. “This report is false.”
Sanchez stands by his testimony before Congressional committees that he was unaware of the abuses until he ordered an investigation into the allegations in January, according to the statement.

Another officer implicated
According to the Post, Shuck also said at the April hearing that Capt. Carolyn A. Wood, supervisor of the military intelligence operation at Abu Ghraib, was “involved in intensive interrogations of detainees, condoned some of the activities and stressed that that was standard procedure, what the accused was doing.”
Col. Jill Morgenthaler, public affairs officer in Baghdad, said the transcript of the April 2 hearing would not be released.
U.S. military officials have said there is no evidence that Sanchez or other senior military officers were aware of the prisoner abuse while it was happening. Prison officials have blamed the abuse on low-level military police, some of whom have maintained they were just following orders.

1. The more they deny, the more we know the truth!

As I see it, *everything* this administration has said, the opposite has been true. I literally cannot think of one instance in which this hasn't been the case.

Therefore, if history is correct, we will find out in a matter of weeks that he really was present and lied to congress.

(Of course I know this goes all the way to top, we are just taking baby steps to get there!)
