...The agency said arrests allegedly tended to follow a pattern. "Arresting authorities entered houses usually after dark, breaking down doors, waking up residents roughly, yelling orders, forcing family members into one room under military guard while searching the rest of the house and further breaking doors, cabinets and other property," the report said.

"These methods of physical and psychological coercion were used by the military intelligence in a systematic way to gain confessions and extract information and other forms of cooperation from person who had been arrested in connection with suspected security offenses or deemed to have an 'intelligence value."'

#1  Hell - I bet this kind of stuff takes place weekly in Detroit, Watts, Washington DC and Houston everday too. Move along people, theres nothing to see here.

Notice how there hasn't been any public anger over this - only the media is getting its panties in a knot over this.
