abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S

Senator John McCain said Sunday that abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers, alleged anew in a report and under investigation again by the army, is hurting the country's image abroad.

"We've got to have it stopped," McCain (R-Ariz.) said on This Week on ABC.
"I don't know if these allegations are true or not, but they
have to be investigated."

Human Rights Watch issued a report Friday based on
interviews with a captain and two sergeants who served
in a battalion of the 82nd Airborne Division stationed
at a military base near Fallujah. The report alleged that army soldiers systematically tortured Iraqi detainees from 2003 into 2004, hitting them with baseball bats and dousing them with chemicals.
