NBC: Worst Abuse at Al Ghraib Done by Iraqi Recruits
2004-05-04
EFL
Some of the worst abuse in the Al Ghraib prison scandal was reportedly perpetrated by Iraqi guards recruited by the U.S. military and brought into to the jail to help maintain control of the growing population of Iraqi detainees. "The Iraqi guards apparently engaged in rape of female prisoners and perhaps some young boys," reported NBC Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski on Tuesday.

#4  Did you ever think if one of them were innocent? Sure, a vast majority of them want to attack our forces in the country. But you guys (especially you Bomb-a-rama) make it seem like its okay that we do this. You said it yourself: #2 How many of these "detainees" are guilty of having been active participants in attacks on coalition forces? Not to sound too bloodthirsty, but this is what happens when terrorists/insurgents are captured.

So should the personel involved be arrested and put on trials for war crimes for doing what they did? I mean, gee, isn't that one of the charges that is going to go up against Saddam in the coming months, torturing people in his jails?
But once again, what if just one of those people in the prison that was tortured was innocent? What then? Did you ever think of that?

#3  Maybe some of these Iraqi guards had family members suffer under Saddahm. It might be simple revenge.

#1  That is more like it! Now, we are talking about torturing the old fashioned way - the muslim way!

Brace yourselves for the torrent of denial coming from the Muslim World: A muslim will never do that. It is forbidden by Islam to torture people, unless, of course, they are infidels.
