INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SPAR OVER FURTHER POW ABUSE ALLEGATIONS
" A memorandum, written by the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency to a senior Pentagon official, cites brutal treatment of Iraqi insurgents captured in Baghdad in June, several weeks after disclosures of abuses at Abu Ghraib prison created a worldwide scandal. The memorandum noted that officials had seen prisoners being brought in to a detention center with burn marks on their backs and complaining about sore kidneys."
P.S.: Historians Against the War has just produced a pamphlet that examines the U.S. government’s historical and current use of torture. You can find it at: http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/resources/torture/
