Grand Jury Probing Possible War Crimes at Abu Ghraib

Investigations into claims that the CIA abused suspects during the so-called "war on terror" are not over. When he took office, Attorney General Eric Holder named a Republican-appointed US Attorney to investigate cases, including "the Iceman," whose dead body was frozen to slow its decomposition. Grisly photographs of Manadel al-Jamadi’s frozen body were published world wide after he died in CIA custody at Abu Ghraib, the prison outside Baghdad. Now his case could make news again, according to contributor Adam Zagorin on Time magazine's blog, Battleground.
