WASHINGTON - - The only U.S. military officer charged with crimes in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal was arraigned Tuesday , and a judge said he would hold a hearing next week on a defense request to dismiss the charges.Army Lt.

Fleischer testified that , later on the day of his lunch with Libby , he and other top aides left with President Bush on a five-day trip to several African nations .
