MR. McCLELLAN:  Helen, go ahead.

Q     Has the President given any orders to stop the ongoing brutalization of Iraqi prisoners?

MR. McCLELLAN:  Ongoing?  If you have something, you ought to let --

Q     Even after Abu Ghraib and the terrible shame that it brought to us, this still goes on.

MR. McCLELLAN:  If you have something, you ought to take it to the attention of the Department of Defense.

Q     I personally don't.  I've been reading in the papers recently, several days, that this is going on.

MR. McCLELLAN:  The President expects allegations of this nature, which are serious allegations, to be fully investigated.  He expects the Department of Defense to get to the bottom of any allegations that are made, to hold people responsible for wrongdoing if there is wrongdoing, and to take corrective action where appropriate.  The Department of Defense has a number of ongoing investigations.  These are issues that they take very seriously.  In terms of the policy, I think the President's policy has been made very clear.  We are a nation of laws and a nation of values, and we expect people to adhere to our values, as well as our laws. classical kiev massage
