Fishback charges that while at three bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, he and his peers and subordinates witnessed abuse of detainees. He says the abuse included everything from "physical beatings of detainees, to death threats, to harsh exposure to the elements, vigorous physical exertion to the point of fainting."
Is he saying the abuse of detainees was not just a few bad apples at Abu Ghraib prison?
"Yes," says Fishback, "there was a systemic problem, and it was widespread."
