A U.S. jury awarded $42 million to three former Abu Ghraib detainees, holding Virginia-based contractor CACI responsible for their torture and mistreatment. The plaintiffs, who testified to severe abuse, argued CACI's interrogators conspired with military police to "soften up" detainees. CACI denied direct involvement, citing the "borrowed servants" doctrine, but the jury found the contractor liable. The verdict marks a significant legal victory for the plaintiffs, highlighting accountability for corporate complicity in human rights abuses.
