Red Cross asked US to address Iraqi prisoner abuses months ago

"...the International Red Cross said that months before word of the abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison became public, it had repeatedly asked U.S. authorities to take action over reported abuses. 'We were aware of what was going on, and based on our findings we have repeatedly requested the U.S. authorities to take corrective action,' said Nada Doumani, a spokeswoman for the organization in Geneva.
