"Torture at Abu Ghraib", by Seymour Hersh, New Yorker, May 1/2, 2004 |
An article based, Hersh says, on a 53-page internal military report by
Maj Gen Antonio Taguba. It is said to describe the systematic use of
physical and sexual abuse by US intelligence agencies, including the
CIA, and others, as a means of extracting information from prisoners.

Gen Myers, chaiman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, subsequently denied
that abuse was widespread at Abu Ghraib.
