An internal investigation by the Army’s inspector general has cleared four of the Army’s top five officers in Iraq of any wrongdoing in connection to the torture of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison. Unless new evidence emerges, the Army has effectively ended its investigation into the abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison. Meanwhile Human Rights Watch has demanded that a special prosecutor be named to investigate Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and former CIA director George Tenet for possible war crimes related to the torture and abuse of prisoners.
