"Australian Prime Minister John Howard on Tuesday blamed Washington for misinforming him about the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal and denied lying to the public or misleading Parliament.
Speaking to reporters before leaving on a trip to the United States, where he will discuss Iraq with President Bush, Howard said U.S. Defense Department bureaucrats had failed to brief him on the abuse.
``I am very unhappy that I've been misinformed,'' Howard said. ``We're dealing here with what was clearly an inadequate briefing.''"
