VIDEO: Suspect in Afghan massacre settling into pre-trial life at Fort Leavenworth

Robert Bales, the Army staff sergeant accused of massacring 16 Afghan civilians, is being integrated into life at the correctional facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

That's the word from post spokeswoman Rebecca Steed, according to the Associated Press. Bales was delivered to Leavenworth last Friday after being confined in Kuwait first.

"He's being treated just as every other pre-trial soldier or servicemember who comes through the Joint Regional Correctional Facility," Steed said. "He's begun his in-processing. That's been put slightly on-hold as he meets with his lawyers, but that will resume probably mid-week, or whenever he's done meeting with his attorneys."
