School of the Americas Watch Recent reports of the torture of Iraqi detainees 
at the Abu Ghraib military prison near Baghdad are part of a larger pattern of 
abuse and torture at the hands of U.S. soldiers, U.S.-trained soliders, 
"independent contractors" and intelligence agents around the world. In fact, 
U.S. Army intelligence manuals advocating torture techniques and how to 
circumvent laws on due process, arrest and detention were used for at least a

Americas, renamed in 2001 the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security 
Cooperation or WHINSEC.
