The Army finally admits it: U.S tortured
Iraqis 08/27/2004 01:22 PM
The Army is trying to come to grips with what it did during what the Pentagon still insists on calling "Operation Iraqi Freedom", although it has a long ways to go. As General Fay is reported to have said at the Pentagon"There were a few instances when torture was being used." Now that the Army has finally admitted it, how long will it take our political leadership to admit it? I started reading the Fay/ Jones report (PDF) itself. In that tortured Army prose, I found the beginnings of the acceptance of responsibility: Abuse Clearly abuses occurred at the prison at Abu Ghraib. There is no single, simple explanation for why this abuse at Abu Ghraib happened. The primary causes are misconduct (ranging from inhumane to sadistic) by a small group of morally corrupt soldiers and civilians, a lack of discipline on the part of the leaders and Soldiers of the 205th MI BDE and a failure or lack of leadership by multiple echelons within CJTF-7.... The abuses at Abu Ghraib primarily fall into two categories: a) intentional violent or sexual abuse and, b) abusive actions taken based on misinterpretations or confusion regarding law or policy. LTG Jones found that while senior level officers did not commit the abuse at Abu Ghraib they did bear responsibility for lack of oversight of the facility, failing to respond in a timely manner to the reports from the International Committee of the Red Cross and for issuing policy memos that failed to provide clear, consistent guidance for execution at the tactical level. While taking some responsibility, the Army also took a few potshots at the CIA: The appointing authority and investigating officers made a specific finding regarding the issue of "ghost detainees" within Abu Ghraib. It is clear that the interrogation practices of other government agencies led to a loss of accountability at Abu Ghraib. DoD must document and enforce adherence by other government agencies with established DoD practices and procedures while conducting detainee interrogation operations at DoD facilities. This matter requires further investigation and, in accordance with the provisions of AR 381-10, Part 15, is being referred to the DoD Inspector General, as the DoD liaison with other government agencies for appropriate investigation and evaluation. Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines should never be put in a position that potentially puts them at risk for non-compliance with the Geneva Convention or Laws of Land Warfare. The report...

Continuing to help Osama bin Laden with
his recruiting drive, one tortured Iraqi
prisoner at a time 04/30/2004 12:37 AM
Via 60 Minutes, the Memory Hole has these extremely graphic pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. What a command failure -- General Abizaid, the Central Command commander, should be relieved on the spot, as should every commander in the chain of command between the him and the general in charge of the jail. A description of the pictures, from CBS 60 Minutes: 60 Minutes II has a dozen of these pictures, and there are many more – pictures that show Americans, men and women in military uniforms, posing with naked Iraqi prisoners. There are shots of the prisoners stacked in a pyramid, one with a slur written on his skin in English. In some, the male prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other. And in most of the pictures, the Americans are laughing, posing, pointing, or giving the camera a thumbs-up .... But the Army investigation found serious problems behind the scenes. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Frederick said that dogs were “used for intimidation factors.” Part of the Army's own investigation is a statement from an Iraqi detainee who charges a translator - hired to work at the prison - with raping a male juvenile prisoner: "They covered all the doors with sheets. I heard the screaming. ...and the female soldier was taking pictures." There is also a picture of an Iraqi man who appears to be dead -- and badly beaten. What is this war doing to American soldiers? What are we doing to Iraqis? What will the Arab and Islamic reaction for these foul and barbaric acts be when Aljazeera broadcasts the pictures through the Arab speaking world? We are behaving in Iraq exactly as Osama bin Laden would want us to act. How many more jihadists did we create today?...

Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing reader Jeremy says,

I was surprised to learn that a small Guantanamo-style detention center run by the Wackenhut corporation is in place mere blocks from my home. Somewhere around 200 detainees are housed in a non-descript warehouse somewhere in Springfield Gardens, Queens. I find it disturbing and distressing, especially now that they've gone on hunger strike, which is the only reason that I've learned that they are there.
