How many have we tortured?

[methinks2]

Aren't we supposedly the good guys. And torture is something we don't condone? How many others? We can't remain silent when these things happen.

Detained, Bludgeoned and Electrocuted into a Coma.

Dahr Jamail

7 January 2003: (ICH) Sadiq Zoman Abrahim, 55 years old, was detained this past August in Kirkuk by US Soldiers during a home raid which produced no weapons. He was taken to the police office in Kirkuk, questioned by the Americans there, then transferred to Kirkuk Airport Detention Center.

It was from this detention center he was transferred to Tikrit Airport Detention Center. While in this detention center Mr. Abrahim managed to find a man who was about to be released, and have him pass on to his family information about where he was.

It was from this place that the Americans transferred him, comatose, to the hospital in Tikrit.

Acting on this information the family searched the hospital, but was unable to find him. While there, the hospital administration informed them they had someone in a coma by the name of Abrahim Sadiq Zoman, who was dropped off two days prior by the Americans.

According to the administrative staff at the hospital, the only information provided by the Americans was the incorrect name and a medical report which said Mr. Abrahim had suffered a heart attack. They provided no information as to where he had been picked up, no address and no other personal information.

It is documented by both the hospital and Iraqi Red Crescent in Tikrit (who took the photos of Mr. Abrahim), that the Americans dropped the comatose man off with the aforementioned information. Before his family had found him, the Iraqi Red Crescent had posted photos of Mr. Abrahim on buses leaving Tikrit in hopes of someone recognizing him, as noone in the city knew who he was.

1. RE: "How many have we tortured?"

I missed the part of the story that said we Detained, Bludgeoned and Electrocuted him into a Coma.

2. It helps if you read it:

The doctors at the hospital in Tikrit, after performing diagnostic tests, informed the family that Mr. Abrahim
had suffered massive head trauma, electrocution, and other beatings on his arms. An EKG proved that his heart
was functioning perfectly. The family was told that he was in an unrecoverable state and would be in a coma for
the rest of his life from the obvious trauma suffered from torture.
