Ted Kennedy to Probe Gitmo Lingerie Torture
| Ummm... This isn't Scrappleface... |
 A day after the Senate Armed Services Committee heard testimony that detainees at Guantanamo Bay were being tortured with women's underwear, Committee member Ted Kennedy announced he would make his first-ever visit to the facility.
| "Thash righ'! I'm goin'! Trixie, help me up! Tiffany, gimme my coat! [Hic!]" |
Investigators told Kennedy and his Armed Services colleagues on Wednesday that Gitmo interrogators forced a detainee to wear a bra, put women's g-string panties on his head, ordered him to dance with a male interrogator and forced him to stand naked in front of women, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am deeply concerned about the failure - indeed, outright refusal - of our military and civilian leaders to hold higher-ups accountable," Kennedy told reporters after hearing about the lingerie torture.
| Teddy? Pliers are torture. Truncheons are torture. Ladies' underwear is recreation to some people. |
Thursday night, the Massachusetts Democrat announced that he planned to personally inspect the facility, telling the Boston Globe that the purpose of his trip would be "to meet with officials, ask questions of their practices, and see firsthand their operations."
| "Thash righ'! I'm goin'! Don't try and hold me back!" |
He's also very interested in allegations of whiskey and cocaine torture.
