Detainee Abuse Photos Related to 0237-03-CID259-61219

DOD | ACLU-RDI 6473
This photo most likely depicts the injured leg of Manadel Al-Jamadi, an Iraqi man captured by Navy SEALs in November 2003 and tortured and killed by CIA interrogators at the Abu Ghraib prison. The gruesome details of Al-Jamadi’s abuse and killing earned worldwide notoriety when photos of U.S. soldiers posing with his mutilated corpse were released by news organizations in 2004. Navy SEAL team leader Lieutenant Andrew Ledford was the only U.S. official tried in military court for crimes related to Al-Jamadi’s torture and death. Ledford was ultimately acquitted of striking Al-Jamadi and lying to an investigator.
