The U.S. military denied a Sunday report in the Washington Post alleging that the top U.S. general in Iraq witnessed the abuse of Iraqi inmates.
The Post reported that a military lawyer stated at an open hearing April 2 that Capt. Donald J. Reese told him that Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez and other senior military officers were aware of the abuse at the prison.
Sanchez stands by his testimony before Congressional committees that he was unaware of the abuses until he ordered an investigation into the allegations in January, according to the statement.
