JAMES ROBERTSON, District Judge.
Named plaintiffs in both of these cases are Iraqi nationals who allege that they or their late husbands were tortured or otherwise mistreated while detained by the U.S. military at Abu Ghraib and other prisons in Iraq. Defendants are government contractors who provided interpreters (Titan) 1 or interrogators (CACI) 2 to the U.S. military in Iraq. The defendants have moved for summary judgment, asserting that plaintiffs’ common law tort claims should be preempted under the government contractor defense.
