CAIRO, July 14, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – A recent three-month probe by US military investigators showed that the torture and abuse tactics used against Iraqis in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison were first used nearly a year earlier against a "non-cooperative" detainee at Guantanamo, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, July 14.

Report: U.S. first used tough tactics at Gitmo
By The Washington Post and The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Interrogators at the U.S. detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, forced a suspected terrorist to wear women's underwear on his head, confronted him with snarling dogs and attached a leash to his chains, according to a newly released military investigation that shows the tactics were employed there months before military police used them on detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

3. I watched some of the hearing on this on Thursday.

Both Republican and Democratic members demonstrated grave concern about this matter. If there is evidence that Rummy approved the torture, that evidence must be presented to Congress. We simply cannot allow war criminals to run this country. The line MUST be drawn.

4. isn't that a normal neocon foreplay ?

"to wear women's underwear on ones's head, be confronted him with snarling dogs and be attached a leash to his chains"

6. Now is the time to connect the Alberto Gonzales dots to this

As the chief legal advisor to President Bush*, I believe his fingerprints are all over it. It might provide some ammunition to block his appointment if he is nominated for SCOTUS.
