The New York-based watchdog said Washington circumvented international law and spent two years covering up or ignoring reports of torture or abuse by U.S. troops in the war in Afghanistan and occupation of Iraq. The U.S. government has denied it had a policy to mistreat detainees in its war on terrorism. "The horrors of Abu Ghraib were not simply the acts of individual soldiers," Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth said in a statement with the 38-page "The Road to Abu Ghraib" report. "Abu Ghraib resulted from decisions made by the Bush administration to cast the rules aside." Six U.S. soldiers face possible courts-martial and one has already been sentenced to more than a year in prison for the torture revealed in April and made infamous by photographs, including naked detainees being forced to form a human pile in Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. The rights group's report listed three ways in which it believed U.S. policies had led to the abuse. * After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the administration "decided that the war on terrorism permitted the U.S. to circumvent the restraints of international law," including the Geneva Conventions. * The United States "employed coercive methods to inflict pain and humiliation on detainees to 'soften them up' for interrogation." * Until the publication of the Abu Ghraib photographs, Bush administration officials "took at best a 'see no evil, hear no evil' approach to reports of detainee mistreatment."
