For starters, why were only the small fry convicted over Abu Graib? It was like seeing only corporals in the dock at Nuremberg.

Because there was no legal culpability at the upper levels.
No evidence was offered that any in command outside the group gave orders for these bozos to do these things. Power corrupts some people? There are and were no orders to be found authorizing the hazing of POWs. The only culpable person higher in command was the woman, a BGeneral, in charge of the prison. Her offense was being neglectful, not issuing direct orders prohibiting such behavior.. It doesn't hurt to CYA in such situations. It doesn't hurt to be vigilant and keep close touch on what goes on. She didn't but she was not complicit! A good commander would have been omni present and questioning subordinates as to what was going on..any suspicious behavior should be promptly stopped.
By the way the press accusations agains Rumsfeld and even Bush were bunco! Illogical, uninformed nonsense!
