#1 That should be "Treatment"

#2 After the way the IIRC played fast and loose with the money we Americans gave the families of the 9/11 victims and their eagerness to see Saddam in prison while ignoring the Iraqi people he murdered and tortured for 30 years, they can just... BITE ME.

#3 Looks like the Red Cross is another organization that has been hijacked by the Left. They had a long standing policy of not publicizing details of prisoners they visit. This statement is from their website - ICRC believes that the best way that it can prevent or halt torture and ensure decent conditions of detention is by getting repeated and unrestricted access to prisoners, talking to them about their problems, and urging the detaining authorities to make any improvements that may be necessary. The price of this is a policy of confidentiality, taking up the problems only with the people directly concerned.

#4 While some of the abuses I've heard about (especially sexual assaults and severe beatings) are troubling, I have no problem with isolation, humiliation, playing smackey-face, sensory deprivation, no exercise, etc., when the individuals are/were involved in anti-Coalition attacks. This is much ado about not much.

#5 I believe that some of the photos are planted. I am certain that those who did abuse prisoners will be fairly tried.

But I am certain that some of the photos are planted or have been altered.

If that is the case, any news media which has distributed them without fully understanding the origins are guilty of dissemination of war propoganda, and are therefore no better than Ezra Pound, and deserve no less than what he was given.
