BBC NEWS | World | Americas | US army denies medic abuse claims: "US army medics have not been involved in the widespread abuse of detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq, an internal military review has found.

About 1,000 US medical personnel were interviewed for the study, of whom 32 said they had seen prisoner abuse.

The study followed claims in the medical journal The Lancet that some army doctors had aided abusive guards. Rights group Amnesty International said the study - which did not involve the Red Cross or detainees - was flawed."
