Detainee Abuse |

This reviews detainee investigations and concludes "allegations of detainee abuse were not consistently reported, investigated, or managed in an effective, systematic, and timely manner. ... Nevertheless, no single entity within any level of command was aware of the scope and breadth of detainee abuse. ... Interrogation support in Iraq lacked unity of command and unity of effort. ... In addition, policy for and oversight of interrogation procedures were ineffective. As a result, interrogation techniques and procedures used exceeded the limits established of Army" doctrine (p. ii). Medical personnel were aware of abuses (p8, 21). It confirms that medical supervision of interrogation began in Guantanamo (p. 26).
