Whistle-blower feared fellow GIs

Who can blame him?

His fellow GIs seem to be a bit sociopathic.

Whistle-blower feared fellow GIs Chicago Tribune:

NEW YORK -- The soldier who triggered the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal by sending incriminating photos to military investigators says he feared deadly retaliation by other GIs and was shocked when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld mentioned his name at a Senate hearing.

Within days, Spec. Joe Darby was spirited out of Iraq at his own request. But his family was besieged by news media, and close relatives called him a traitor. Ultimately, he had to move away from his hometown in western Maryland.
