The International Herald Tribune for May 5 reports that Abu Ghraib is not the only target of investigations.

The U.S. Army, even while struggling to contain the damage over the abuse of prisoners at an Iraqi prison, said Tuesday that it had begun criminal investigations into the deaths and assaults of 20 prisoners across Iraq. Two of the deaths have been classified as homicides.

General George Casey Jr., the army vice chief of staff, said 10 more homicide investigations were under way....

Inquiries have begun into prisoner treatment not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at a naval brig in Charleston, South Carolina, where two terror suspects who are U.S. citizens are being held.

The article also quoted Ted Kennedy as saying "This does not appear to be an isolated incident" and that this appeared to be "the beginning, really, rather than the end" of the matter.
