A U.S. jury in Virginia has awarded $42 million to three Iraqi men who were tortured at Abu Ghraib prison by defense contractor CACI. This marks a rare instance where U.S. representatives have been condemned for torture during the Iraq War for the first time. Taleb al-Majli, one of the former detainees, holds both the American military and CACI responsible for his torture.
