Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army says it has conducted more than 30 criminal investigations into prisoner abuse in Iraq since the war started 16 months ago.
The disclosure was made by Gen. George Casey Jr., the Army's second-highest ranking general, the New York Times said Wednesday.
The investigations included 10 cases of suspicious deaths, 10 cases of abuse and two deaths already determined to have been criminal homicides.
The most severe penalties in any of the cases were less-than-honorable discharges for five Army soldiers and no one was sentenced to prison.
A March 9 report by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba said two military intelligence officers and two private contractors who oversaw interrogations last November may have been "either directly or indirectly responsible."
In the accounting of other Army investigations into accusations of abuse, Casey said the military had conducted a total of 25 criminal investigations into deaths and 10 into allegations of misconduct involving detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan.
