I've seen one or two reports (in the Guardian, mainly, which is why I'm taking it with a pinch of salt for now) that US Military Intelligence was behind the mistreatment of prisoners, which is why the Army and Bush are pushing the 'few bad eggs doing it of their own accord' thing - presumably a few thugs will be hung out to dry but the real people behind it will be quietly moved.

Remember that Gen. Jackson was heavily involved on Bloody Sunday (second-in-command in fact), which goes to show that you can make a damn good Army career out of being a 'disgrace to the Queen's uniform'.
