Reuters is unhappy with the Army's investigation into detention of its journalists in Iraq

The Army says there was nothing actionable in the deal. Reuters has another view of the matter.

"The government's investigation of the allegations of mistreatment made by Reuters staff was woefully inadequate," Reuters Global Managing Editor David Schlesinger said in a statement.

"It appears that the investigation consisted of simply interviewing the accused soldiers, and despite our offer, no effort was made to interview our staff," he said.

"The military's conclusion of its investigation without even interviewing the alleged victims, along with other inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the report, speaks volumes about the seriousness with which the U.S. government is taking this issue."

In a letter to the U.S. Department of Defense, Schlesinger called for the investigation to be reopened, and conducted in a more thorough and objective manner at senior levels.

Although the summary of the Army investigation's findings said no evidence of abuse was found, it said that the detainees were "purposefully put under stress", including sleep deprivation, and subjected to uncomfortable treatment.  article
