Only 2% of Iraqi Detainees Ever Convicted

The Raw Story reports that fewer than 2% of detainees held in Iraqi prisons have ever been convicted of anything.

They cite documents showing 13,514 prisoners in coalition custody -- up from just 5,673 in March.

Since the war started in March, 2003, the coalition has held a total of 35,000 detainees. Raw Story reports that only 1,300 of them have been tried -- and only half of those were convicted. (The Raw Story)
