House votes to bulldoze horror prison
A proposal to destroy the notorious prison where Iraqi detainees were abused moved forward as politicians voted to include it in a defence spending bill.
The measure, by Reps Curt Weldon, a Republican, and John Murtha, a Democrat, would demolish the Abu Ghraib prison and build a modern detention centre in its place. It was included in a €416bn defence authorisation bill approved by the House of Representatives yesterday.
