U.S. Inquiry Falters on Civilians Accused of Abusing Detainees

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 — A Justice Department team responsible for investigating accusations that civilian government employees had abused detainees has decided against prosecution in most of the nearly 20 cases referred in the last two years by the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency, said lawyers who have been officially briefed on the effort.

One of the investigations that remains open involves the November 2003 death of Manadel al-Jamadi, who died at Abu Ghraib after a brutal interrogation in one of the most widely publicized abuse cases in Iraq. Mr. Jamadi was in the custody of a C.I.A. officer and a contract interpreter at the time of his death, although he had first been captured by a team of Navy Seals.

Justice Department prosecutors who reviewed the case advised superiors that neither of the civilians could be charged. They concluded that Mr. Jamadi probably sustained severe injuries when he was in military custody before he was turned over to the intelligence agency and that therefore the civilians could not be prosecuted for his death.

A court-martial of Lt. Andrew Ledford, the leader of the Navy Seal unit that captured Mr. Jamadi, ended with an acquittal.



So, the military acquits and the civilians won't even be indicted.
