not really. we have very long standing agreements with the Red Cross for this sort of thing.

It doesn't follow from what I was saying though.

Let's say I accept your premise that Red Cross and Crescent organizations have had access and that AI never had access (which could well be the case). It still wouldn't follow that denials of inhumane treatment of prisoners by the American government should be believed. Further, if there is no inhumane treatment and one wishes to dispel any doubts on that point, then one should grant access to whoever has the doubts so as to dispel said doubts.
