Major Gen. Antonio Taguba and Abu Ghraib

Raping of men, women and children at Abu Ghraib.

Retired Major Gen. Antonio Taguba is the second Filipino American to attain general officer rank in the U.S. Army. Taguba is best known for authoring the Taguba Report, an internal U.S. Army report on detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, leaked and published in 2004. Taguba again made national headlines in June 2008, when he accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes, in a preface to a report by Physicians for Human Rights on prisoner abuse and torture in U.S. military prisons.
