Investigation reveals links between Pentagon and Iraqi torture centers

An investigation by The Guardian and BBC Arabic has revealed how two United States (US) special forces veterans played a key role in training and overseeing US-funded special police commandos who ran a network of secret torture centres in Iraq. The two veterans reported directly to General David Petraeus, who had been sent into Iraq to organise the Iraqi security services.
