#1 Doesn't say if this was a courts martial, but the entry "Maj Gen Bennie Williams found the colonel guilty of two counts of dereliction of duty in late 2003 and early 2004" seems to imply this was an General Officer Article 15 adminstration punishment.
'Dereliction of duty' is a broad encompassing charge which implies in this case, failure to properly supervise and inspect his operations as would be expected of someone of his position and authority rather than being an actual planner and participant to the violations which occured on site at Abu Ghraib. You take the pay and authority, you take the consequences.
No promotion and no future, he might as well put his papers in now. If he is a reservist, he can wait till around 55 for his first check to show up, after the appropriate deductions.
Wonder how many politicians and their appointees get off in similar circumstances when local police/guards hammer some prisoners in the local lockup?
