#1 Article: The camp's translators, all Palestinian-born civilians, misinterpreted her reasoning and complained about the treatment to Flach in a letter, she said.

This is what you get for employing Palestinians in sensitive positions. They are a security risk, and it is questionable whether they are accurately translating what the prisoners are saying, even if they want to talk. Better to train Danes to carry out these tasks.

#2 Al Queda doctrine is to claim about mistreatment after capture. What are the chances some of these blokes got a hold of the memo.

#3 Truth was the perp was dressed in pink coveralls, forced to kneel, while standing behind him were three bible toting crusaders, a banner that reads Jesus Saves hung on the wall, a video camera in front recording the forced conversion.

#5 "Palestinian civilian translators?" Someone needs to answer for this. The only way this even makes the least bit of sense is if all interrogations conducted by these "Palestinian civilian translators" were 100% videotaped for subsequent verification. Otherwise, we might as well have let Iranians assist us with the questioning. How the hell does crap like this happen?
