This was in Fallujah at some bullshit camp. It wasn't in a high level prison where they supposedly held the "worst of the worst."
It's now an official cover-up all the way to Sanchez at a minimum. The managing editor of one of the two biggest wire services in the world gives them transcripts of his employees' statements and offers them as witnesses all the way back in January. They say that nothing untoward happened. The managing editor of one of the two biggest wire services in the world then writes directly to the Pentagon and complains about the "investigation." This is after the Taguba investigation was underway. He hears nothing further. The managing editor for one of the two biggest wire services in the world then receives a letter on May 17th, dated March 5th from General Ricardo Sanchez saying that he is confident the investigation was sound.
For the first time, I think it may be worse for us to stay than leave. If this sick shit was so widespread it was happening in every detention camp in Iraq, we are lost.

And still being covered up, Digby. A letter received on May 17 dated March 5?
The account is from the testimony of Reuters' employees who were thrown into a detention camp.
