Gitmo Abuse

Post by Akaran_D »

The article is fairly long, but I wanted to share a couple of snippets from it:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/12/08/guanta ... index.html
Another complaint talked of a dog being used to intimidate a prisoner and jailers subjecting the same prisoner to what the FBI official called "intense isolation" in a "cell that was always flooded with light."
In the first incident outlined by Harrington, an FBI agent was present in an observation room while an interrogation of a detainee was under way. A "Sgt. Lacey" (the memo says her first name is unknown) entered the room and ordered a Marine to duct tape a curtain over the observation window, thereby blocking the view of the interrogation.

On a monitor showing the view of a surveillance camera, the FBI agent saw the sergeant "apparently whispering in the detainee's ear, and caressing and applying lotion to his arms.... On more than one occasion the detainee appeared to be grimacing in pain, and Sgt. Lacey's hands appeared to be making some contact with the detainee," the memo states.

Later it says the Marine who had been in the room came out, and the FBI agent asked what had happened.

"The Marine said Sgt. Lacey had grabbed the detainee's thumbs and bent them backwards and indicated that she also grabbed his genitals. The Marine also implied that her treatment of that detainee was less harsh than her treatment of others by indicating that he had seen her treatment of other detainees result in detainees curling into a fetal position on the floor and crying in pain," the memo states.
The final case involves FBI agents allegedly observing a dog being used in an "aggressive manner to intimidate a detainee," who was subject to what the FBI official called "intense isolation" in a "cell that was always flooded with light."

Ok, intense isolation I can understand - it's a cross between standard isolation and sleep depravation, and it's outright murder if you're light sensitive like myself. But I have to ask - what kind of lotion could Sarge Lacey be putting on their arms as an interrogation technique? What is she saying to these men that is terrifying them so much, or doing that leaves them on the floor lying in pain?

Bet a rag'll think twice before taking pot shots at our troops after his nuts have been tweaked by an empowered female soldier.

ohhh, hahahaha
human suffering always gets rolling

unless the full article indicates otherwise she didnt say shit to these men that got them crying, she physically tortured them

as far as what would leave a person in that condition, well most of what weve seen/read and has otherwise been reported would leave most people pretty fucked up, imagine what they were REALLY like when the cameras were ripping
