Reuters says the investigation, during which none of the three was interviewed, was inadequate and should be reopened.
Lawrence Di Rita, special assistant to U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, said Central Command and Pentagon lawyers had reviewed the military's initial investigation.
"The investigation was found to be sufficient, and no basis was found to reopen it," Di Rita said in a letter dated March 7 and received by Reuters this week.
"It is unfortunate that Reuters remains dissatisfied with the action taken in regard to the incident," Di Rita said.
"I'm very disappointed that the Department of Defence has chosen not to reopen a clearly flawed investigation into a very troubling incident," Reuters Global Managing Editor David Schlesinger said on Tuesday.
The three Iraqis, along with another Iraqi freelancer working for U.S. network NBC, were detained by soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division on January 2, 2004, while covering the aftermath of the shooting down of a helicopter near Falluja. ..."
