US Senate to remain silent on abuse

Five Republicans sided with Democrats for the Senate vote

The US Senate has prevented the release of documents on the treatment of prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

The 50-46 vote on Wednesday means that Attorney General John Ashcroft will not be required to provide details of interrogation methods and enemy combatant treatment.

Democrats accused Republicans of cooperating with a White House cover-up of policies they said may have contributed to the scandals such as the one at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison.
