Abu Ghraib's Dark Legacy for Military Medicine
Steven H. Miles / The Lancet
August 21st, 2004 -- The complicity of US military medical personnel during abuses of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay is of great importance to human rights, medical ethics, and military medicine. Government documents show that the US military medical system failed to protect detainees' human rights, sometimes collaborated with interrogators or abusive guards, and failed to properly report injuries or deaths caused by beatings. An inquiry into the behavior of medical personnel in places such as Abu Ghraib could lead to valuable reforms within military medicine.
