Prisoner abuse scandal widens

According to testimony from Specialist Jason Kenner, obtained by ABC News, the man was brought to the prison by US Navy Seals in good health.

Specialist Kenner said he saw extensive bruising on the detainee's body when he was brought out of the showers, dead.

Specialist Kenner says the body was packed in ice during a battle between CIA and military interrogators over who should dispose of the body.

The Justice Department opened an investigation into this death and four others today following a referral from the CIA.

The photo was taken by Seargeant Charles Fredrick who in e-mails to his family has asked why the people responsible for the prisoner's death were not being prosecuted in the same manner that he is.
