AlterNet: MediaCulture: Pentagon to Reuters: what torture? where?: "Suppose I've been accused of stealing this computer but after launching an investigation of me, I find that I did not in fact steal this computer. Stupid? Absolutely. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I give you your Pentagon, refusing to reopen a faulty investigation in which none of the accusers were even questioned.

Three Iraqis working for Reuters were detained near Fallujah and claim that they were sexually abused and tortured (this was prior to the Abu Ghraib abuses) before being released without charge."
