Red Cross saw 'widespread abuse'
...The International Red Cross report differs greatly from the position of the US government which has been insisting that any alleged abuses were isolated incidents. ...
..."We were dealing here with a broad pattern, not individual acts. There was a pattern and a system," he said.
Mr Kraehenbuehl said that over the last year the Red Cross had repeatedly warned the Bush administration that the conditions at the Abu Ghraib needed changing.
"Our findings were discussed at different moments between March and November 2003, either in direct face-to-face conversations or in written interventions," he said.
