It's Worse Than We Know

Seymour Hersh, Richard Perle's favorite journalist, has obtained a fifty-three-page report written by Major General Antonio M. Taguba and not meant for public release.

In the report, a much more comprehensive picture of the extent and nature of prisoner's vile treatment in the now even more infamous Abu Ghraib prison is revealed.

One paragraph details some of the atrocities:

Breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; pouring cold water on naked detainees; beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair; threatening male detainees with rape; allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell; sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick, and using military working dogs to frighten and intimidate detainees with threats of attack, and in one instance actually biting a detainee.

Pretty sick stuff. But it's rather tame compared to what Hersh writes in the linked to article.

If you read but one article today, this should be it. It's verbally very graphic.
