Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse covered up, says former jail head
Jeannie Shawl at 10:52 AM ET
In an interview with BBC Radio, Janis Karpinski, the US general formerly in charge of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, said that abuse of Iraqis being detained there was deliberately hidden from her. According to Karpinski, "not only was I not included in any of the meetings discussing interrogation operations, but specific measures were taken to ensure I would not have access to those facilities, that information or any of the details of interrogation at Abu Ghraib or anywhere else." Karpinski also said that the efforts to cover-up the truth of the situation may extend to the White House or the Pentagon. Listen to Karpinski's BBC Radio interview here and read the full story from Reuters. Britain's Telegraph has more.
