Navy abuse case-load "exploding"

The LA Times reveals that ACLU digging has revealed 11 Marines have been disciplined since 2003. According to an anonymous Navy source, the abuse caseload is "exploding."

Marines in Iraq held mock executions of juvenile prisoners last year, burned and tortured detainees with electric shocks and warned a navy medical orderly they would kill him if he treated any injured Iraqis... The new documents are the latest in a series of reports, emails and other records the ACLU has obtained to bolster its contention that the abuse of prisoners goes far beyond the handful of soldiers charged with abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.
