Group: Investigate reports of torture in Iraq WikiLeaks documents

After reading the information posted on the Wikileaks website, The Human Rights Watch has been urging the U.S. government to investigate the reports of detainee torture that were part of the leaked Iraq documents. According to the leaked documents, Iraqi security forces tortured the detainees that were sent there by the United States. The Human Rights Watch have accused the U.S. of knowing that the detainees would be abused if left with the Iraqi security military, yet still carrying out with the transfers anyway. The leaks also write that the U.S. has failed to investigate all of the reports of abuse of the detainees by the Iraqi military. The U.S. have commented that they have done no wrong and that there have been no war crimes committed.
