A now widely publicized military report into the Abu Ghraib scandal recommended that Capt. Donald Reese and First Sgt. Brian Lipinski be relieved of their commands for failing to supervise their soldiers properly.
Yet First Sgt. Paul George, Lipinski's counterpart with a different unit that also served at Abu Ghraib prison, said he had received an e-mail from Lipinski saying both men were back in charge of their 372nd Military Policy Company in Iraq (news - web sites).
"He and the commander have been put back in command of their unit," George told Reuters after being in contact with Lipinski by e-mail.
"He told me that he was put back with his unit and that the commander was as well and them staying there in Iraq had nothing to do with any punishment. His whole unit got extended."
The U.S. military has charged seven members of the 372nd with sexually humiliating prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, a torture center under toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).
