United States army medics have been accused of being complicit in the abuse of Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib prison, outside Baghdad.
Writing in the medical journal, The Lancet, Professor Steven Miles says some medics collaborated with abusive guards.
The University of Minnesota academic has called for an inquiry into the role played by medics in the abuse.
However, the US Pentagon has rejected the claims.
The Pentagon has issued a statement saying that all aspects of detainee operations are being investigated, but it says it knows of no instances in which medical personnel failed to provide medical aid to injured detainees.
