President Bush goes on Arab TV to condemn the torture: President Bush said...that mistreatment of Iraqis at a Baghdad prison by members of the American military was "abhorrent," but that he wanted the people of Iraq to know that it did not represent "the America that I know." His appearances were a personal attempt to stem the tide of Arab anger at the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by the United States military last November at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. They also came after the United States military disclosed on Tuesday that the Army had conducted 30 criminal investigations into misconduct by American captors in Iraq and Afghanistan, including 10 cases of suspicious death, 10 cases of abuse, and two deaths already determined to have been criminal homicides. "There will be investigations, people will be brought to justice," Mr. Bush said of the humiliation and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, a notorious site that was used for torture and killings under Saddam Hussein. Mr. Bush said that the American inquiry would look into whether such instances of abuse also took place in other prisons. "We want to know the truth," Mr. Bush said. Mr. Bush's statement was part of two 10-minute interviews he gave this morning to the American-funded Al Hurra satellite station, which broadcasts from Springfield, Va., and Al Arabiya, a network based in Dubai. Al Arabiya was barred from reporting in Iraq by the American-appointed Iraqi Governing Council last November after it broadcast an audiotape of comments purportedly made by Mr. Hussein.
