US official admits ICRC not allowed access to all prisoners.

I know this isn't much of a surprise at this point, but it's a substantial admission. I think I remember around the time of Abu Ghraib there was a discussion as to whether "ghost detainees" were a war crime. It all hinged on the "special status designation" that the detainees weren't prisoners of war.

The US has admitted for the first time that it has not given the Red Cross access to all detainees in its custody.

Oh, and while looking for another version of this story, I noticed it was already up on Al Jazeera.
