Army report: prison abuse not systemic


Play all audios:

A long-awaited Army report on prison abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan is released to accusations that it downplays problems in military detention facilities. In testimony before the Senate


Armed Services Committee, Army Inspector General Lt. Gen. Paul T. Mikolashek said there were more cases of abuse than had been previously acknowledged. The inspector general's report


states that there are no systemic problems that led to prisoner abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some members of the Armed Services Committee accused the report of glossing over that


possibility. NPR's Jackie Northam reports. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
