11:05 am
ranking soldiers after the abuses were committed. but unfortunately, we didn't see any officers held accountable under the command of doctrine as kilometers on the 3rd, which is something that the us has failed to do. and unfortunately, unfortunately, we also haven't seen prosecutions, of perpetrators coupled with repressed their victims. we're calling on the us government to do 3 main things. the 1st is that it needs to review all the allegations of abuse and investigate cases based on transparent criteria. second, and needs to initiate prosecutions against anyone found to be involved regardless of their rank or position. and finally, it needs to open a pathway where survivors can come forward and make a claim to have their case heard by the us government to receive compensation, apologies, and other forms for address. all corresponding hold on honey joins us now and set.
11:06 am
she's covered this story extensively hold on. you were in iraq reporting on the wall in the early 2, thousands. was it common knowledge? what was going on at abu ghraib? and i think it was common knowledge that uh there was malpractice at the abu ghraib that there was torture. how, how happening, the prisoners were widely mistreated. but i don't think anyone imagined to what extent and what kind of a torture they were subjected at to a when those pictures actually came out. i remember very well i was filming on the streets of baghdad. and i got a phone call from the office telling me you need to come back immediately because it was such a shock to everyone to a rockies to us the media, to. i think also a lot of the,
11:07 am
the civilians were working as part of the occupation administration. that everybody knew that that was going to be a turning point. and then from there on things were going to go very quickly in a very bad way in a downward spiral. and that's exactly what happened. um, so yes, there was an idea that, you know, people were randomly detained without charges that they were sort of i think people flip sleep deprivation, that kind of psychological pressure, but not what actually happens, especially that, you know, the nudity, does she mediation to the cord insult to the values and traditions of iraq and to the wider muslim world. uh, so that was, i think, a shock to absolutely everyone involved in data and just looking at the pictures that were showing on the screen. now it is still shocking to look at now. 20 is on . you actually have the chance to speak to american soldiers,
11:08 am
senior ministry commanders, about what happened. what did they say to you? i mean, when asked, remember that these, this to we broke because a soldier wasn't very comfortable with as what was happening. and he had come across those pictures and he had linked them to the american media. so really with been the blu ray complex, you have military personnel that was very much as you need to know when you spoke to them and they spoke to a couple of soldiers. i even spoke to a more senior per person. and they all said that this was actually sanctioned the highest levels. one general i began to your general rather a told me that actually everything changed. when general jeffrey miller had moved to iraq and was made in charge of prisoners, he had just come straight from glen panama. uh we oh, we already had reports about what was going on there. and he sold that prisoners.
11:09 am
any rock where bad, where to well treated no back in washington. the bush administration depend to go was to send the out that message that actually things were going very well in new york. and that as since saddam hussein has been removed the rockies had now a better life. and is this one famous sound bite from george bush? this was haven't listened to it. there are no longer torture chambers or rape rooms for mass graves. as a result, a friend of terror has been removed. now since a given we are 20 years on hold a why is it been so difficult for victims to get justice as well? again, the bush administration has been saying all along that that was the work of a few bad apples. now if you're going to go into the legal route
11:10 am
and you're going to start listening to every single prisoner who went through that, now we do know that there were at least a $100000.00 e rockies who went through the grape system during those years for about from 2003 to 2006, when it shut down. you can, it's really you opening up and doors books. you have those in abu ghraib. but then you, we also know about similar techniques that happened elsewhere in one time m o n. and i've got his son in by graham, you also have all those who are a victim of different dition program which, whereby, you know, prisoners were afloat on military planes to a 3rd country to undergo really bad torture to get them to confess. just saying so i think once you give one person a compensation, then you and have a long list of people and that list could go into, i mean
11:11 am
a 100000 alone in the log. add to that. and it's going to be a huge headache for the us administration. adult though, i mean i came from is withdrawing is and bossa tunisia and ending on defense cooperation of to weeks of tension with the ministry genta president, pneumonia, my call says be withdrawal will be completed by the end of the year. the ministry which sees power back in july has welcome to move, cool to get a step toward sovereignty. nicholas hawk has moved from deca. a france will no longer be held hostage by purchase. those other words from french president emmanuel mccall who has recalled it's french ambassador and also the 1500 troops on the ground. they will leave the country by the end of the year. he has announced this comes after weeks of protest in the capital of new share.
