The New York Times reports that two men detained shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks have sued Attorney General Ashcroft and other federal officials, alleging that they were beaten, strip-searched, and sexually abused while being held in secret detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The men, Javaid Iqbal and Ehab Elmaghraby, were cleared of terrorist charges but have been deported to Pakistan and Egypt, respectively. CNN reports that federal prosecutors have decided not to bring criminal charges relating to allegations of abuse at the facility, despite a report by the Justice Department's Inspector General that documented widespread mistreatment of detainees.
