ACLU Says Military Knew of Iraq Abuse

[ECH1969]

An Army document summarizing 62 allegations of detainee abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan was circulated two weeks before the public release of pictures of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison, according to government records released Tuesday by a civil rights group.

The April 2, 2004, information paper, "Allegations of Detainee Abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan," described the status of 62 investigations of detainee abuse.

The ACLU said the paper included allegations that soldiers sexually assaulted a female detainee, threatened to kill an Iraqi child to "send a message to other Iraqis," and threw rocks at handcuffed Iraqi children.

3. Rumsfeld himself sit in on a few interrogations when they thought they

had a high ranking terrorist.

It also described allegations that military personnel assaulted, punched, kicked, stripped and beat detainees, shocked them with a blasting device, choked them with scarves and interrogated them at gunpoint, the ACLU said.

Amrit Singh, a staff attorney with the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, said the information paper provided some of the strongest proof yet that the abuse was widespread and that military leadership was aware of it.

"For the government to continue to pretend that the detainee abuse was the work of rogue soldiers is entirely disingenuous, and it's blatantly contradicted by this document," she said.
