Citing sources involved with the inspections, "The Washington Post" reports that there had been at least six joint U.S.-Iraqi inspections of detention centers, most of them run by Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim-dominated Interior Ministry and that evidence of abuse had been found at all the sites.
In November, U.S. troops found 173 prisoners, some of whom showed signs of torture, in a secret bunker in Baghdad.
