New jail abuse allegations hit US
Memos between FBI officials detailing abuses, some dated after the
Abu
Ghraib jail scandal, were released as part of a lawsuit against the
government.
Others allege serious abuse of inmates held at the Guantanamo Bay
naval
base, mostly captives from the Afghan war.
If you were connected to Guantanamo and you want some of that American
pie, you claim abuse along with a lawyer who will not let this rest and
will work hard for many years until the laws change where he can get a
settlement because America has got the loot. ;) .trust me terrorist are
greedy too. )
You seem to have missed the point that these accusations are coming from
internal FBI memos, not inmates.

The American Civil Liberties Union brought the case to determine
whether
the US was mistreating prisoners.
ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said the documents raised
grave
questions about who was to blame for widespread detainee abuse.
"Top government officials can no longer hide from public scrutiny by
pointing the finger at a few low-ranking soldiers," he said.
Last week documents released for the case threw up fresh revelations
of
abuse in Iraq by US marines, 13 of whom have been convicted and some
jailed.
Wow Convicted. In terrorist land they are not convinced but applauded.
Maybe you should join their side ;) More freedoms, eh?
'Executive order'
The documents, which were obtained through the Freedom of Information
Act, are mostly made up of communications between FBI agents
concerned
at seeing interrogation techniques they are prohibited from using in
their own investigations.
Stop the interrogation techniques - give each one a nuclear weapon and
call it even. Everyone happy, eh?
One of the memorandums released on Monday provided the account of an
agent who observed "serious physical abuses" in Iraq.
"One"? The just said this was widespread? Ohhh Forgot this is the lefty
media of self hatred ;)
It was dated 24 June - two months after the extent of abuse at
Baghdad's
Abu Ghraib prison was revealed - and was marked "urgent" and sent to
FBI
Director Robert Mueller.
It described strangulation, beatings and the placing of lit
cigarettes
into detainees' ears.
Another document said an executive order signed by President George W
Bush had authorised techniques such as "sleep management",
Old as war.
stress
positions, use of military dogs and sensory deprivation.
The White House was quick to respond to this allegation, saying:
"What
the FBI agent wrote in the e-mail is wrong.
Ohh another deluded lefty in the FBI. Don't worry when Clinton was
busy bombing civilians in 1999 - it was somehow honorable ;)
There is no executive order
on interrogation techniques."
Impersonation
A document relating to Guantanamo suggests that detainees - mostly
suspected Taleban and al-Qaeda fighters captured during the war in
Afghanistan - were shackled to the floor in foetal positions for more
than 24 hours at a time, left without food and water and allowed to
defecate on themselves.
One detainee's air conditioning was turned off
My GOD call in the infantry - give his thirty years :0
in an unventilated room,
making it unbearably hot, it was reported.
"The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor with a pile of hair
next to him," the memo said. "He had apparently been literally
pulling
his own hair out throughout the night."
Other allegations contained in the e-mails include:
* That military interrogators impersonated FBI agents,
apparently
to avoid possible blame in subsequent inquiries
* That this method was approved by Deputy Defence Secretary Paul
Wolfowitz
* The rape of a juvenile male detainee at Abu Ghraib prison,
currently under investigation
* That one Guantanamo detainee was wrapped in an Israeli flag
and
bombarded with loud music in an apparent attempt to soften his
resistance to interrogation.
The Pentagon has not commented on the latest allegations of abuse,
but
spokesman Bryan Whitman denied that Mr Wolfowitz had approved
impersonation techniques.
The department has also said in relation to previous cases that it
did
not tolerate abusive tactics.
Some allegations in the documents are under investigation, the
Pentagon
added.
