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 of the University of Minnesota says some collaborated with abusive guards.
The academic, who tried to become a US Democrat senator in 2000, has called for an inquiry.
However, the US Pentagon has dismissed the claims.
In a statement, it said it was investigating all aspects of detainee operations but had found no evidence that medical personnel were involved.
