American Military Prisoner Abuse is horrific...

[Bodhi]

The witness statements also include new and more detailed allegations of abuse by military intelligence soldiers, including a civilian interpreter's accusation that an Army interrogator forced a prisoner to walk naked through a cellblock.

My God, imagine if they made the prisoners kneel on an iron grate for three hours...  the horrors... the horrors...

hell I think they should file another complaint with Amnesty International.

I guess the 30 odd that have died while in detention and are under investigation were being subjected to more then walking naked through cells.

Prision abuse scandel is a disgrace no matter how much you try and play it down. It has caused a great deal of harm to US military credibility and respect in the world. At a time when things were bad enough with the invasion of Iraq and missing weapons of mass distruction.

Unfortunetly the prisoner and invasion of Iraq does nothing more then stir more anti US hatered in the Arab world and give Osama even more resources and fresh young recruits eager to join.

Starting to think that the invasion of Iraq was the best thing the US could of done for Al Queda not the other way around.

This kind of treatment is a disgrace. It should be promptly ended. Though a means of ratifying this kind of treatment could be far off, identifying key individuals could be a helpful start, as is being done now.

What the US troops are doing to the Iraqi captures is no worse than what they do to ours. Still US should show respect and try to end this kind of activity. But really, there is only so much they can do.

When you join the U.S. military, you are supposed to stop being a scumbag.  Unfortunately, the people running this prison didnt follow that rule.

If you think you're in prison Suntracker, why don't you just quit?

For those muslims it is one of the most embarrassing things to appear naked in "public". Its even a sin if one of the spectators is  female.
Ur post shows ur lack of respect for humans and therefore it disgusting.

They probably already had. Without AA and the Red Cross investigating these events, the abuses may never have come to light.

I'm not quite sure what your point is here. Are you saying that inhuman and degrading treatment is tolerable?

The military investigation was initiated by the reports of a soldier who saw the abuses. The military broke the story of the investigation to Congress, but they ignored it. The media pumped it up for ratings. The Red Cross had nothing at all to do with it.

No one has said the abuses were tolerable, at least no one with any intelligence.

Read in a column the other day that a British news agency was reporting that they found that the majority of Iraqis were puzzled as to why such a big issue was being made of this. Wonder why THAT report has been buried.

Just heard on this news a report about one of the 507th soldiers who was captured in uniform and executed two days later by bullets to the back.  Nasty business war.  Above all else keep your thoughts in perspective, thats the difficult part for many.
