Military Doctors Partially Culpable in Abu Ghraib Abuses

HeadlineAug 20, 2004

An article in Britain’s leading medical journal, Lancet, alleges that U.S. military physicians were complicit in the abuse that took place at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. According to the article, doctors routinely attributed detainee deaths on death certificates to natural causes when the deaths were the result of torture. The article also alleges that a psychiatrist helped “design, approve and monitor interrogations at Abu Ghraib.”
