Earlier Report of Prison Abuse : details

"Jacoby told Cambone that a supervisor in a secret military unit seized photographic evidence after a civilian DIA intelligence officer watched uniformed task force members 'punch [the] prisoner in the face to the point the individual needed medical attention.' That DIA officer, and another who worked with him, reported that prisoners taken in the field arrived at the unit's headquarters with 'burn marks on their backs,' 'bruises' and other signs of violence." [yes, that is torture, not a "form" of torture. ]
"Another special agent said he had repeatedly observed detainees who had been stripped naked and placed in isolation at Abu Ghraib -- a practice the military now says is wrong -- but made no protest because it seemed no different from strip searches at prisons in the United States."

Revealing. If you haven't ever been arrested, you don't know what you're missing. Right here. When you are, you are scum, and your captors are pretty much infallible, right up there with the pope.
