Outrage as documents reveal approved interrogation techniques
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
24 June 2004
The US bowed yesterday to international outrage over prisoner abuse in
Iraq and Afghanistan by abandoning its bid to secure a United Nations
exemption for its soldiers from prosecution by the new International
Criminal Court (ICC).
The about-turn at the UN came less than 24 hours after the White House
released secret internal documents on the treatment of enemy prisoners
- again in an attempt to dispel suggestions that it condoned the abuse
at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere.
