ACLU says Pentagon agrees to release ’substantial number’ of photos of abuse of prisonersWASHINGTON — The Defense Department will release a “substantial number” of photos depicting abuse of prisoners by U.S. personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, the American Civil Liberties Union said late Thursday. Senate report says Bush policies led to prisoner abuses at Gitmo and in Iraq and AfghanistanWASHINGTON — The brutal treatment of prisoners by the military at Guantanamo Bay, Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison and Afghanistan was systematic and a direct result of the CIA’s early use of harsh interrogation tactics, according to a Senate report. The 232-page report released Tuesday by the Senate Armed Services Committee came less than a week after President Barack Obama released the Aug. 1, 2002 memo that justified the use of severe methods by the CIA.
