British judge says headquarters okayed Iraq abuse

By Peter Graff

BULLFORD (Reuters) - A judge said on Monday the reason he had ordered
charges dropped against the most senior British officer to be tried
for prisoner abuse in Iraq was because headquarters had approved some
of the abuses.

The British military has denied that its commanders approved abusing
prisoners.

But a witness, Major Anthony Royce, testified during a court martial
of seven other soldiers over the death of an Iraqi hotel receptionist
that some abuse was approved by higher-ups at British brigade
headquarters.
