Abu Ghraib whistleblower recognized by ABC

ABC News has picked Joseph Darby, a reservist military police officer from western Pennsylvania, as one of its "People of the Year." The profile of Darby gives us little insight into his motives, or the actual consequences of his anonymous note.

Darby, 25, slid an anonymous note under the door of his commanding officer, describing the terrible acts committed by his fellow soldiers. Soon the story was everywhere. Photo after photo made its way into public view, documenting humiliating and abusive treatment of prisoners by American forces.
