MSNBC: Karpinski has been suspended

MSNBC is reporting that Gen Karpinski has been suspended from duty (not merely suspended from her command, which had occurred in January iirc) pending outcome of the investigations.  Just reported over televsion, I don't find anything on line quite yet.

However I do find the most recent from her in The International Herald Tribune (no registration):

The top American general in Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, rejected a recommendation in January that the military make a public, Arabic-language radio or television address to the Iraqi people to address allegations of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison, the former head of the military police at the prison said in an interview.
.
The officer, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, on Sunday also said Sanchez had visited a military intelligence unit at Abu Ghraib at least three times in October 2003, when the first of the worst abuses were taking place.
...
And while Sanchez has said he did not learn of the abuses until Jan. 14, Karpinski said his top deputy, Major General Walter Wojdakowski, was present at a meeting in late November 2003 at which there was extensive discussion of a Red Cross report that cited specific cases of abuse.
...
But two Defense Department officials acknowledged that the command in Baghdad was reluctant to say too much at the outset because of the continuing criminal investigation and, to some extent, because of the reaction in Iraq and throughout the Arab world to sketchy reports of serious abuses at army-run prisons that had been photographed.
...
"We had to work with them to make sure it was out there," a senior defense official said. "There was a lot of concern that this was an ongoing investigation and they didn't know where it was going.
...
In an e-mail exchange several days ago, Puckett first described Karpinski's recommendation to Sanchez. Karpinski agreed in a telephone interview on Sunday to discuss that recommendation further. She said that she herself had learned in late November about the report by the International Committee of the Red Cross, which had been sent to military lawyers in Baghdad earlier that month, but had not understood the extent of the abuses until she was told by army investigators on Jan. 14 about the discovery of incriminating photographs.
...
The army spokesmen have not replied to questions about Wojdakowski's knowledge of the events.
.
In contrast, tho, is this on Gen Fast and her promotion.  I have read analysis of the choice of Taguba's rank as instrumental in possibly shading the report away from Fast.  Taguba was one star senior to Karpinski, but of equal rank to Fast.  Had he been three star v. two star he would have had leverage, some perhaps.  I know nothing of things military, but it makes some sense.

Fort Huachuca is getting a new boss later this year - a two-star general who is the subject of finger-pointing in an Army report on the prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.

Maj. Gen. Barbara G. Fast, who is now the fort's deputy commander and is serving in Baghdad, will take over as head of the Sierra Vista Army post and its military intelligence school in late summer or early fall.
...
In a recent Army report on the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the commander of several Military Police officers facing criminal charges, blamed Fast as the person largely responsible for causing overcrowding at Iraq's Abu Ghraib Prison, where many abuses took place.

Apparently one general talks and one does not...From everything released, Karpinski sounds culpable as hell (for one, scarcely visiting the prisons under her command) but if she talks, and keeps talking, we benefit.
