WASHINGTON, D.C. - American soldiers tortured Iraqi prisoners by strangling them, beating them and placing lit cigarettes in their ears, even after the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal came to light in April 2004, according to new allegations.
Internal FBI memorandums made public on Monday by the American Civil Liberties Union included detailed reports of detainees in Iraq being chained for long periods, left to defecate on themselves in cold prison cells, and other inhumane treatment.
The documents allegedly provide a paper trail implicating senior U.S. government officials in the illegal practices carried out by U.S. soldiers. "
