“Admiral [Albert] Church’s investigation [into detainee interrogation and incarceration in the war on terror] found (as of September 2004) 71 cases of detainee abuse and 6 deaths, with only 20 of those cases involving interrogation, and 130 cases still under investigation. This included cases not just at detention facilities, but those that occurred at the point of capture, when soldiers are under much greater stress. …Given that the United States had detained by that time approximately 50,000 individuals, this is an extremely low error rate.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
