He is only the first of man, there are no less then 30 investigations going on...the CO of the Prison was relieved, and there still has not been one shred of corroborated evidence to assert anyone other then localized individuals condoned their treatment...personally...I laughed when they considered humiliation to be cruel...geesh...I have a couple of  Vietnam POW's in my American Legion post and they were dumbstruck to think that what those men endured would be considered torture.
Yeah, humiliating captured enemy soldiers, well thats kind of expected, and soldiers should have the strength to laugh it off. But these wern't soldiers. These were civillians arrested on the slightest chance of a crime being committed. And being stripped naked while someone has a guard dog leaning in towards you trying to shred you to pieces is just a bit of humiliation isn't it? What about those who died while in custody, are you suggesting they died of shame?[/b][/quote]

Excuse me???..crime?..the men in these wings were captured in combat, that's not a crime..and lest we forget....when Baghdad fell, 3 full Divisions...of Republican Guard and Feyadeen dispersed into the general population...I am under no delusions that many of these "civilians" were former military...even if they were civilians...it still doesn't constitute torture for pete's sake. As for those that died in custody, what more do you want?...Investigations are occuring, men are going to prison..they military system of jurisprudence is being followed?
