Group: Abu Ghraib prisoners still abused
Human Rights Watch alledges troops told Geneva Conventions didn’t apply

Updated: 9:46 p.m. ET July 22, 2006
NEW YORK - The group Human Rights Watch said in a report to be released Sunday that U.S. military commanders encouraged abusive interrogations of detainees in Iraq, even after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal called attention to the issue in 2004.

Between 2003 and 2005, prisoners were routinely physically mistreated, deprived of sleep and exposed to extreme temperatures as part of the interrogation process, the report said.

"Soldiers were told that the Geneva Conventions did not apply, and that interrogators could use abusive techniques to get detainees to talk," wrote John Sifton, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch.

The organization said it based its conclusion on interviews with military personnel and sworn statements in declassified documents.

A Pentagon spokesman, Cmdr. Greg Hicks, said he wasn't aware of the report, but noted the military is reviewing its procedures regarding detainees following a Supreme Court ruling that the Geneva Conventions should apply in the conflict with al-Qaida.

1. OK., lets hear it for using the ICC to put a stop to Bush and

his top advisors. How many think this is a way to go?

2. The Only Way To Go.

IMO, Justice will not get done at our federal level.

Needs to come from the international community. War crimes indictments are way over due if you ask me.

5. Both the US and Iraq are not parties to the Rome Statute

and the ICC does not have jurisdiction over them.

Federal law also requires the president to use "any necessary action" to rescue any American national taken into custody by the ICC.

A pitiful state this country is in.
