Two senior Army generals revealed to Congress yesterday that the CIA secretly hid * as many as 100 prisoners* at Abu Ghraib and other prisons from Red Cross inspectors. The New York Times reports the number of prisoners kept off the official roster is far higher than * previous estimates*. The exact number of so-called ghost detainees is still unknown because no records were kept by the CIA. One general put the total number of secretly held detainees at about two dozen but another said it as high as 100. The Times reports that military officials have said the C.I.A.’s practice of using Army-run prisons in Iraq to hide prisoners held for questioning violated military regulations and international law Both Democratic and Republican Senators criticized the military and CIA for not being more forthcoming. Democrat Jack Reed of Rhode Island asked “Why would all these people not follow Army regulations, not report violations to the Geneva Convention,[and then] wait months to inform commanders of vital information?”
