Claims that torture existed at all prisons and that it continues

And we aren't going to believe it, are we?

"The first reports I received concerned the city of Umm Qasr, the detention zone at Baghdad airport, and finally the prison at Abu Ghraib. But there was torture at all the American bases," [Iraq's former human rights minister Abdul Basset Turki] told the newspaper.

"I have information about further abuses committed against prisoners just this week," he said, but did not elaborate.

Turki, who resigned one month ago over U.S. military action in the flashpoint town of Falluja, said he had quickly understood that Bremer "did not have the power to ask the military to change its methods."
