Despite the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, the torture and abuse of Iraqi detainees in U.S. custody has continued, according to a new report released over the weekend by Human Rights Watch.
Soldiers told HRW that in direct violation of international law, detainees at one camp "were regularly stripped naked and subjected to beatings, forced exercises, severe sleep deprivation and various forms of degrading and humiliating treatment."
The report describes alleged abuses at three different detention facilities in Iraq between 2003 and 2005. These abuses, the reports says, were authorized and routine.

This is too vile and fabricated to even post in full. Are the soldiers making this up, or is Human Rights Watch making this up? If the latter, our soldiers should be speaking out against them.

"Soldiers?" Let me guess, some anti-war type right? Sounds like bull to me. Why would they even risk it after the witch hunt that followed Abu Ghirab? Spare me.

The report is very unconvincing.
To: SandRat
I don't suppose they actually name any sources?
To: MikeA
Human Rights Watch = George Soros funded, and likely manipulated, organization. Maybe we should e-mail and complain to ABC news that HRW is a bogus organization - they certainly should at least check the credentials of an organization making these claims.
To: SandRat
Did anyone's head get sawed off, or body burned and hung from a bridge?
Didn't think so.

George Soros, and his running dog lackeys at Human Rights Watch, definitely prefer the Islamofascist "head cuttings" to sleep deprivation.

Yeah, boo freaking hoo for the terrorists, but it's just fine with Human Rights Watch that our guys are murdered and their corpses mutilated by these animals.
It's disgusting.
