ABC News: Head of Abu Ghraib Prison Speaks Out:

"May 12, 2005 — Janis Karpinski, the former Army Reserve brigadier general who was in charge of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, maintains she and other reservists have been unfairly scapegoated for the prisoner abuse scandal that shocked the world last year, and the the mistreatment of detainees may still be occurring.

'All the way up to the top of the Pentagon, they have a long-standing mindset about reservists and National Guard soldiers, and we are considered disposable,' Karpinski said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' 'Nightline.' 'We go back to our lives as civilians once we're released from active duty.'"
