According to Pentagon officials the images were linked to 56 cases of alleged abuse by U.S. forces, of which 14 cases were deemed to be valid, with 65 service personnel disciplined as a result…Friday's release echoes images leaked to the media a decade ago showing the apparent torture of prisoners at the now-notorious Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.
