Bush squirms on Arab TV as jail abuse crisis grows
From Anthony Harwood, US Editor In New York
THE shocking death of an Iraqi prisoner in American hands was described yesterday as President Bush went on Arab TV to condemn abuse of war captives.
As Mr Bush squirmed, it emerged that the detainee at the infamous Abu Ghraib jail had apparently been beaten to death - then wrapped in ice and Cellophane.
*linked for gruesomeness*
US Staff Sgt Chip Fredrerick said troops "stressed out" an inmate so badly, he died. The man was "iced" for 24 hours before medics took him away on a stretcher with a fake drip in his arm.
At least 14 prisoner deaths In Iraq and Afghanistan are now blamed on the US or are under investigation.
Mr Bush called the abuse of captives "abhorrent" and the White House later used the word "sorry" half a dozen times.
In London, Mirror editor Piers Morgan was asked to appear before MPs, over pictures of torture by British troops.
