Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, June 10 (UPI) -- The House Armed Services Committee next week will ask the Pentagon to provide all Abu Ghraib prison scandal-related documents to Congress within two weeks.
The committee will mark up legislation demanding all pictures, photographs, video, communications and reports from Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, or any other investigation into the abuse or alleged abuse of prisoners by the U.S. military or contractors anywhere in Iraq.
The committee is taking the unusual step of marking up House Resolution 640 after the close of business of the House of Representatives.
The Pentagon has made the 6,000-page Taguba report and about 1,800 images related to the investigation available to Congress on a short-term basis.
At least six investigations are being conducted into the treatment of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and two other military brigs that hold alleged enemy combatants.
