[QUOTE="HailTheLeaf:389771"]HailTheLeaf said:[QUOTE]read the rest of the article[/QUOTE] wow, since no one can read, I guess I'll have to post more... "A case I'd documented even before then was that of 57 year-old Sadiq Zoman. He was held for one month by U.S. forces before being dropped off in a coma at the general hospital in Tikrit. The medical report that came with his comatose body, written by U.S. Army medic Lt. Col. Michael Hodges, listed the reasons for Zoman's state as heat stroke and heart attack. That medical report, however, failed to mention anything about the physical trauma evident on Zomans' body --- the electrical point burns on the soles of his feet and on his genitals, the fact that the back of his head had been bashed in with a blunt instrument, or the lash marks up and down his body." "When I interviewed Ali Abbas in Iraq, his descriptions from Abu Ghraib bore a remarkable similarity to those given by detainees released from the American prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and from the little noticed American mini-gulag in Afghanistan." "They shit on us, used dogs against us, used electricity and starved us," he told me. "They cut my hair into strips like an Indian. They shaved my mustache, put a plate in my hand, and made me go beg from the prisoners, as if I was a beggar." in Sherbegan Prison in Afghanistan in December, 2001, one of the detainees, Shafiq Rasul, described the situation as follows: "We all had body and hair lice. We got dysentery and the toilets were disgusting. It was just a hole in the ground with shit everywhere. The whole prison stank of shit and unwashed bodies." "He would not be allowed to wash for at least six weeks. He would be transferred to a U.S. base in Kandahar and endure a "forced cavity search" while he was hooded, then go on to suffer countless beatings. When he was later transferred to Guantánamo Bay, he would witness the "Guantánamo haircut" where men would either have their heads shaved completely or have a cross shaved into their head in order to insult their faith. Denial of medical care and long stays in solitary confinement, along with sleep deprivation tactics, were the norm. Other forms of treatment included: Gratuitous violence: Prisoners would be punched, kicked, and slammed to the ground. Exposure to the elements: Prisoners were locked in cage-like structures located in hangers with no heating. Denial of nourishment. Denial of religious rights including purposeful desecration of the Quran. The use of dogs to threaten prisoners. And keep in mind, this was the norm. The extreme we know from the recorded deaths of at least 98 prisoners in American hands in these years." typical prison stuff huh? nothing wrong there at all, that's a great way to treat people. Hey Hoser, since you're the expert, what does your prized Geneva convention say about this stuff? [/QUOTE]
