excerpt:

Military officials on Thursday gave senators a classified update on the Pentagon's investigations. "Based on what I learned today, I can say with, I think, relative assurance that America and the world will not see a similar series of incidents," Warner said.

But Warner's committee hasn't held any public hearings on the new information since May 19.

Since then, Congress has been relatively quiet on the scandal. The Defense Department has given more than a dozen classified briefings. Members who attend are barred from discussing the findings publicly.

The Pentagon has released documents on the abuse piece-meal. In May, it omitted 2,000 pages of Taguba's report. Then, after it certified the report complete, the Pentagon omitted a draft memo to the secretary of defense that reportedly links the approval of questionable interrogation practices to top civilian leadership.

And until this week, the Defense Department also withheld critical reports by the International Committee for the Red Cross, which document abuses and conditions at Abu Ghraib. The Senate had asked for the reports in May. On Thursday, the Pentagon gave senators 24 Red Cross reports.
