If We Do This to Our Guys...
How much more evidence do we need of torture and brutality against prisoners? Check this out:
Reversing itself, the Army said Tuesday that a G.I. was discharged partly because of a head injury he suffered while posing as an uncooperative detainee during a training exercise at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba...What could more dramatically illustrate that the beating and torture revealed had little to do with real investigations? With 25 deaths in military custody since the Afghanistan war, the top leadership of this country should be indicted for war crimes.Mr. Baker, 37, a former member of the 438th Military Police Company, said he played the role of an uncooperative prisoner and was beaten so badly by four American soldiers that he suffered a traumatic brain injury and seizures. He said the soldiers only stopped beating him when they realized he might be American.
