Torture

from JoeUser Forums

Between October and December of 2003:

"Breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; pouring cold water on naked detainees; beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair; threatening male detainees with rape; allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell; sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick, and using military working dogs to frighten and intimidate detainees with threats of attack, and in one instance actually biting a detainee."

Canada had a similar -- if less widespread -- problem with such despicable conduct in Somalia a decade ago. I hope that the Bush administration will hold a full blown judicial inquiry to get to the bottom of this.

Bush may actually be angry enough about this to crackdown. I mean, even I don't think the guy condones torture.
