     As reported in a September 6, 2013 post at Huff Post Politics, a federal judge has ordered 4 Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib to pay over $14,000 in routine court costs after losing a case against defense contractor CACI, which obtained dismissal of the federal case against it based on immunity grounds. (CACI was alleged to have assisted in torture of prisoners at the “infamous” prison.) CACI had sought to recoup $15,580 in expenses, mainly deposition and travel costs. Attorneys for the Iraqi prisoners are planning to appeal the federal court dismissal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
