Newly released FBI documents concerning interrogation practices at the prison in Guantanamo Bay have prompted the US military to investigate itself.

Worst cases

One document describes how an FBI special agent (SA) observed a female interrogator caress a shackled prisoner, whisper in his ear and then cause him to grimace in pain.

"SA asked what had happened to cause the detainee to grimace up in pain," the document said.

"The marine said had grabbed the detainees thumbs and bent them backwards and indicated that she also grabbed his genitals."

The document showed that the marine also implied that her treatment of that detainee was less harsh than her treatment of others.

He said he had seen her cause other detainees to curl up into a foetal position on the floor and cry in pain.

5. Bad enough that this is America,

why are the rest of the Americans not up in arms about this? Why is Gonzales being considered for Attorney General?

Or more like one ruthless produce manager.

7. and Senator Kennedy said TORTURE still goes on TODAY

when the man who made TORTURE LEGAL becomes head of justice on the heels of Ashcroft there will be no more doubt in most fair observers mind that we are EMBRACING FASCISM.
