sissyjane to be quite honest with you, I would not have known or figured out that the centcom press briefing that was sited yesterday was referring to detainee abuse.

I posted excerpts and links to 3 of the briefing on post #508 above.

The only one that rang bells to me is the one from 4/20/04 and that was because I remember looking at it via tv that day and when the journalist asked Kimmitt the question, he cut her off as if he was annoyed by what she asked and I wonder at the time what that was all about.

The bodies of three dead Iraqi prisoners of war lay in the bed of a truck in Baghdad, after they were killed by U.S. MPs in an uprising at Abu Ghraib prison late last year, according to a soldier from the 870th MP (Military Police) unit that supplied this photograph to Reuters. Three U.S. military police who served at Abu Ghraib said on May 6, 2004 that they had witnessed unreported cases of prisoner abuse and that the practice against Iraqis was commonplace.
