May 26 (Bloomberg) -- The Pentagon has promised to give the Senate Armed Services Committee a ``complete and certified'' copy of the military's primary investigative report into abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

The document will be provided as quickly as possible, according to correspondence between the Pentagon and Senator John Warner, a Republican from Virginia who heads the Armed Services Committee.

The missing pages include a report written in September by Major General Geoffrey Miller, the deputy commander of detainee operations at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after his visit to Abu Ghraib and recommendations for improving interrogations there, according to a summary of the missing pages prepared by Senate staff. They also included draft findings of Miller's visit given to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, according to the summary.

Miller's report and recommendations served, according to press reports, as the basis for stricter interrogation methods, including the use of guard dogs against detainees, that critics say contributed to a climate of abuse that lead to the prison scandal.

okey dokey

serious repercussions just as there is "contempt of court" laws. The whole bush cabal has literally thumbed their noses at Congress and their right for oversight written in the United States Constitution and NOTHING happens. I find it incredible.

dupe, sorry

They contemptous bastards are so damn smug in their open self-assured contempt for the legislative branch. Bushgang has just about completely demolished the founding father's system of checks and balances - especially considering their consolidated control of all 3 branches. I freaking hate the repugs - they are so destroying our country. Sellout traitor bastards.

cheats

Why are the American people tolerating this BS?

They noticed the missing pages last Friday, fer crissakes! Aren't there any Kinko's in DC they can send it over to? Is the copier broken at the Pentagon? Nobody going by Capitol Hill on the way home who can drop it off?

This is just flat out ridiculous. They're hiding something, and it's something very very stinky.
