Washington, May 24: At least 2,000 pages might
have been missing from the copy of the army report on
soldiers' abusive treatment of Iraqi prisoners that was
delivered to the Senate armed services committee.
The 6,000-page report, compiled by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, formed the basis for hearings this month into the allegations. Taguba found ``numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses'' had been inflicted on Iraqis held at Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad between last October and December.
Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita said he knew of no contact with the pentagon by anybody at the committee about the reported missing pages. He said he understood there may have been a computer glitch that made some of the electronically stored pages difficult to open, but the problem was resolved.
