DescriptionThe Red Cross saw U.S. troops keeping Iraqi prisoners naked for days in darkness at the Abu Ghraib jail last October and was told by an intelligence officer in charge it was "part of the process," a report leaked on Monday said.

In the 24-page report, the Red Cross also said coalition military intelligence officers estimated up to 90 percent of those detained in Iraq were arrested by mistake.

The report added to the pressure on U.S. officials by revealing that commanders were alerted to apparent abuses at Abu Ghraib months before they opened a criminal investigation.
