the insurgency took root and began its counterattack. Highlights
during his tenure as commander in Iraq include the killing of Uday
and Qusay Hussein and the capture of Saddam Hussein.
Although Sanchez had been exonerated
in 2005 in official investigations by the Army and the Department of
Defense of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the controversy over
interrogation techniques both which occurred during his command, his
nomination for a fourth star and command of the U.S. Southern
Command in Miami was quietly withdrawn in 2004 when it became
apparent that hearings on Capitol Hill on his promotion would
dissolve into a firestorm over Pentagon and White House
interrogation policies and would sink his confirmation, according to
news media reporting. Sanchez
relinquished command of V Corps in a ceremony in Germany early
September 2006 and retired from the Army in a ceremony at Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio, Texas, November 1, 2006 (For
