Abu Ghraib Only "Tip of the Iceberg"

USA sends prisoners to "third-country dungeons"

"(New York, April 27, 2005)— The crimes at Abu Ghraib are part of a larger pattern of abuses against Muslim detainees around the world, Human Rights Watch said on the eve of the April 28 anniversary of the first pictures of U.S. soldiers brutalizing prisoners at the Iraqi jail.

"Human Rights Watch released a summary of evidence of U.S. abuse of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as well as of the programs of secret CIA detention, 'extraordinary renditions,' and 'reverse renditions.'

"'Abu Ghraib was only the tip of the iceberg,' said Reed Brody, special counsel for Human Rights Watch. 'It's now clear that abuse of detainees has happened all over—from Afghanistan to Guantánamo Bay to a lot of third-country dungeons where the United States has sent prisoners. And probably quite a few other places we don’t even know about.'"
