High court rejects Abu Ghraib lawsuit – 1 hr 38 mins ago WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from former detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq who wanted to sue defense contractors over claims of abuse. The justices turned aside the appeal Monday from Iraqis who said they or their relatives were abused by interrogators employed by two firms, CACI International Inc. and Titan Corp. A divided federal appeals court had dismissed the lawsuits. The firms provided interrogators or interpreters to assist U.S. military guards at the prison that served as the backdrop for pictures of grinning U.S. soldiers posing with detainees, some naked, being held on leashes or in painful and sexually humiliating positions. Military investigators later concluded that much of the abuse happened in late 2003 — when CACI and Titan's interrogators were at the prison. www.magicvalley.com/news/national/article_842ebed1-cd29-5707-bcb3-a2c965824bc9.html |
