Joe Darby
Sergeant Joseph M. Darby (born c. 1979) is a former U.S. Army Reservist known as the whistleblower in the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal. Darby is a graduate of North Star High School, near his hometown at the time, Jenners, Pennsylvania.〔("One Soldier's Unlikely Act; Family Fears for Man Who Reported Iraqi Prisoner Abuse" Washington Post. ) May 6, 2004.〕
At the time, Darby served as an M.P. at the Abu Ghraib prison, in Abu Ghraib, Iraq. After learning of the abuse, Darby was the first person to take steps to alert the U.S. military command.
==Disclosure of abuses at Abu Ghraib==
In January 2004, Darby provided 2 compact discs of photographs to Special Agent Tyler Pieron of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, who was stationed at Abu Ghraib Prison, triggering an investigation that led to the implication of several soldiers violating the Geneva Convention. Darby initially wanted to remain anonymous, and had been assured of anonymity〔(Am I a Torturer? (Mother Jones) )〕 — he and those implicated all served in the 372nd Military Police Company, but became known when the New Yorker published his name and when later Donald Rumsfeld named him during a Senate hearing.〔〔(unbossed.com » Thank You, Joseph Darby )〕 Darby had agonized for a month beforehand, but finally decided to blow the whistle on his former friends explaining "It violated everything I personally believed in and all I'd been taught about the rules of war." He had known Lynndie England, one of the most well-known suspects, since basic training. He testified that he had received the photos from Charles Graner, another soldier in the photographs.
