The American general who headed the US military prison at Abu Ghraib personally witnessed abuses there, an Iraqi man alleged in a federal lawsuit protesting his treatment.
In a videotaped deposition from Iraq played on Tuesday, Saddam "Sam" Saleh Aboud said he endured beatings at the prison.
During one session, his hood was removed and he said he saw Brigadier General Janis Karpinski.
Aboud identified Karpinski from a photograph in a news magazine that his lawyer, Michael Hourigan, showed him.
"He was adamant that there was an occasion when he was being tortured, in Tier 1A, when she was present and watching and laughing as he was being tortured," Hourigan said. He said Aboud did not know Karpinski's identity until he told him.
