Summary: | According to documents obtained under FOIA, the third woman to die in Iraq, Army Specialist Alyssa Peterson of Arizona, killed herself after objecting to unspecified interrogation techniques. Her death came seven months before allegations of abusive practices at the Abu Ghraib prison became public. The Army denied a FOIA request for Peterson's suicide note. | ||
Notes: | A FOI/Privacy Act officer later said that all records of the unspecified techniques have been destroyed. Also, Peterson's mother said that neither she nor her husband had received any official documents containing information from the KNAU report (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-mitchell/us-soldier-killed-herself_b_190517.html). | ||
