In Taguba's report, the only mention of Fast refers to her position as "detainee release authority," in charge of deciding which inmates accused of crimes against the coalition could be released.

As head of intelligence in Iraq, Fast would have been responsible for intelligence officers working inside Abu Ghraib. She also "would have been very interested in the interrogation reports coming out of that prison," says Charles Heyman, senior defense analyst for Jane's Consultancy.

The scant mention of Fast in the report is likely because Taguba was told to focus on the role of the military police, not military intelligence.

Last month, the Pentagon announced Fast will return to Fort Huachuca - to head the Army Intelligence Center. The fort's Web site described the center as "focused on leading, training, equipping and supporting the world's premier corps of military intelligence professionals - imbued with a warrior spirit, self-discipline and mutual respect."
