Vice Admiral Albert T. Church III

What's being investigated: All Department of Defense interrogation operations.

Review conducted by the Naval Inspector General, Vice Adm. Albert T. Church III.

Covers winter 2001 through Sept. 30, 2004.

What has been released: Twenty-page executive summary of a much longer report completed in February 2005.

Sources: Eight-hundred interviews with military current and former personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay.

Findings: Seventy-one substantiated cases of detainee abuse involving 121 victims and six deaths. Another 130 cases remained open as of Sept. 30, 2004.

Breakdown of findings:
Guantanamo is the site of eight of the 71 substantiated and closed abuse cases. All incidents were relatively minor, although two involved sexually suggestive behavior by female interrogators.

Afghanistan is the site of three of the 71 substantiated and closed abused cases. One of those three was a death. The other two were minor abuses.

Iraq is the site of the remaining 60 cases. Five were deaths. Twenty-six were serious abuses. Twenty-nine were minor abuses.

Context: According to Army and Navy investigators, 18 detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq have died since 2002 as a result of confirmed criminal homicides, and another eight have died because of suspected homicides. The first group includes Mullah Habibullah and Dilawar (Afghanis often go by one name), who were hung from their arms and beaten so badly at Bagram Air Force Base that their legs would have had to have been amputated if they had lived. An Army investigation, which the Church Report briefly mentions, recommended that charges be brought against 28 military personnel in connection with Habibullah and Dilawar's deaths. To date, only two low-level military policemen have been charged.
