US military investigators say they have found three cases of abuse during an inquiry into the treatment of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay camp in Cuba.
The investigators concluded that staff had largely followed military guidelines but that some techniques, including the sexual humiliation of prisoners, had been condoned.
The officer in charge of the inquiry, Lieutenant-General Randall Schmidt, recommended that the Guantanamo commander at the time be reprimanded, but he was overruled by the head of US Southern Command.
