Tehran -- Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said here on Thursday that the US has not been able to whitewash its Iraqi prisoners abuse scandal and has cunningly extended apologies for the issue.
Speaking at a ceremony to inaugurate the new office of Persian daily Jomhouri Eslami, Rafsanjani said that Americans will eventually continue their own way in defiance of the scandal.
Rafsanjani said many torture chambers worldwide are run through backing of the arrogant powers such as the US.
He said history of arrogance is full of such events.
The United States is facing mounting international anger after graphic photographs of abuse of Iraqi detainees by US troops were released by CBS news and other media outlets.
Elsewhere in his speech, Rafsanjani called on the press to be fair and sincere in their mission.
He concluded that the press would be the bastion of freedom and democracy if carry out their duties properly.
