Change of Regime, but still the same abuse ....
Quote:
A US general has been suspended in Iraq over the alleged abuse of prisoners by US troops in jails she ran.
Brigadier General Janis Karpinski is among seven officers being investigated following claims that soldiers under their command mistreated detainees.
The army confirmed the suspension after US television broadcast images of US soldiers allegedly abusing inmates at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.

Quote:
CBS TV says it has "dozens" of pictures showing a wide range of maltreatment.
Taken by US troops, many of the pictures show American troops watching in apparent approval.
