Abu Gahraib scandal
This may be nitpicking, but the article says the news about AG broke in 2003. If my memory serves, wasn't the abuse publicly revealed in 2004? --

Some parts may need to be rewritten or extended according to newer sources.

I added the 2010 section to keep the article up to date with the most recent occurances regarding the topic. It is entirely from an New York Times article written by Mark Mazzetti, who has been covering the story since it broke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C.rivera11 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

2010
In 2010, the C.I.A. released email messages that there were dozens of tapes depicting the abusive interrogation of detainees. According to one document, an internal C.I.A. e-mail message, Porter Goss, the former director of the C.I.A., laughed and said that actually, it would be he, Goss, who would take the heat. The documents detailing those deliberations, including two e-mail messages from a C.I.A. official who was anonymous, were released as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The e-mail messages also reveal that top White House officials were angry that the C.I.A. had not notified them before the tapes were destroyed. The e-mail messages mention a conversation between Harriet E. Miers, the White House counsel, and John A. Rizzo, the C.I.A.’s top lawyer, in which Ms. Miers was “livid” about being told after the fact.[4]
