Army pathologist concedes errors in prisoner-abuse case

[DuctapeFatwa]

A military judge said Thursday he was considering whether to bar all medical evidence from the upcoming court-martial of a Marine major accused in the death of an Iraqi prisoner because of repeated bungling by military pathologists.

The judge, Col. Robert Chester, said he found "most troubling" the lack of cooperation and attention the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology has paid to the case of Marine Maj. Clarke Paulus.

Paulus, 35, is accused of ordering one of his men to drag Iraqi prisoner Nagem Hatab by his neck after the Iraqi suffered a bout of diarrhea and collapsed in June 2003 at a makeshift detention facility known as Camp Whitehorse.

Perhaps the most central piece of evidence - the broken bone Ingwersen noted in the throat of the Iraqi prisoner - remains missing. The broken bone supports the pathologist's finding that Hatab was strangled, but Ingwersen said she has no idea where it is.
She said medication she took for an allergic reaction to sand fly bites during her trip to Iraq may have affected her memory.
