Documents Tell of Brutal Improvisation by GIs
Interrogated General's Sleeping-Bag Death, CIA's Use of Secret Iraqi Squad Are Among Details

Iraqi Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed Mowhoush was being stubborn with his American captors, and a series of intense beatings and creative interrogation tactics were not enough to break his will. On the morning of Nov. 26, 2003, a U.S. Army interrogator and a military guard grabbed a green sleeping bag, stuffed Mowhoush inside, wrapped him in an electrical cord, laid him on the floor and began to go to work. Again.

It was inside the sleeping bag that the 56-year-old detainee took his last breath through broken ribs, lying on the floor beneath a U.S. soldier in Interrogation Room 6 in the western Iraqi desert. Two days before, a secret CIA-sponsored group of Iraqi paramilitaries, working with Army interrogators, had beaten Mowhoush nearly senseless, using fists, a club and a rubber hose, according to classified documents.

Sorry.

3. I did not see this earlier.

I sent out one email, about torture, to my friends yesterday. I sent another one using this story today. Wonder how many people will still be speaking to me after a month.

4. The ones that will not be speaking to you aren't worth worrying...

about, if they uphold these kinds of things!

[demgurl]

5. I understand that and I am weeding them out as each day goes by.

I will not be silent any more. There is too much of that in our country already.

10. Geeze Hubert Folttz.... I saw your post after mine...LOL they are almost

identical!

[lonestarnot]

8. Well if they don't speak to you for speaking up, then they weren't worth

having around anyway! Silence Kills!

6. I forced myself to look at this thread. The point is, we must

not close our eyes to such no matter how sick it makes us. This war will not end until these tales and the pictures are forced upon every single citizen in this country to bare witness to it. When we don't and we turn away, we become complicit, it's that simple.
