Was abuse of Iraqi inmates limited?
Was abuse of Iraqi inmates limited?

A report into the treatment of Iraqi detainees by British troops has concluded that there's no evidence of systemic abuse.
The report concludes that the ill-treatment of Iraqi prisoners was carried out by a very small number of soldiers.
It was commissioned three years ago following allegations of abuse, including the death in British custody of hotel receptionist Baha Mousa.
Lawyers acting for Iraqi civilians said the report was a whitewash. Baha Mousa's father said his son's killers had still not been brought to justice.
