Detainee Abuse "Wrong But Not Illegal"--Per Pentagon Report

"That report concluded the detainees' treatment was wrong but not illegal and reflected inadequate resources and lack of oversight and proper guidance rather than deliberate abuse. No military personnel were punished as a result of the investigation."

And what does it say about Congress that it has had these reports for some time without bothering to make the abuse illegal?

"While some of the incidents have been reported previously and reviewed by members of Congress, this was the first time the documents were made public. Many portions of the reports were blacked out, including specific names and locations."
