U.S.: Released Documents on Torture Not Sufficient: Commission Needed to Probe Treatment of Detainees says Human Rights Watch in the title of its article today.
The documents "raise more questions than they answer... stop in April 2003 and do not cover practices at Abu Ghraib and other military prisons in Iraq."
The organization called for special commission to conduct an investigation, distrusting the "independence" and "breadth" of the Pentagon and Justice Dept. investigations. "Two weeks ago, Human Rights Watch published a 36-page report, “The Road to Abu Ghraib,” which examined how the Bush administration adopted a deliberate policy of permitting illegal interrogation techniques – and then spent two years covering up or ignoring reports of torture and other abuse by U.S. troops, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq."
