US forces in Iraq kept detainees with only bread and water for up to 17 days in 2004, a newly-released report says.
The Special Operations troops stripped inmates naked and drenched them with water before interrogation in overly air-conditioned rooms, it said.
The report, by Brig Gen Richard Formica, says troops were not to blame - they had received the wrong advice.
It is the latest in a series of inquiries into the alleged abuse or killing of Iraqis by coalition forces.
Several US soldiers have been jailed for their role in abusing inmates at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison.
Images of the abuse caused an international outcry - but most defendants say they were following orders.
