Is the US military torturing Iraqis with electricity?
Dahr Jamail, Electronic Iraq, 8 January 2004

7 January 2003 -- 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.Americans.

Now, today, three months later Mr. Abrahim lies dormant, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, blinking slowly from time to time, yet completely unresponsive to any stimuli.

This horrible situation raises many questions.

If the Americans knew who he was and where he was when they detained him, why did they fail to provide this information to the hospital when Mr. Abrahim was dropped off?

Why did the Americans fail to notify the hospital of Mr. Abrahim having an accident if there had been one?

How do you explain the massive head trauma, the burns on the bottoms of his feet caused by electrocution and bruises on his arms, if he had only suffered a heart attack as the medical report provided by the Americans states?

1. Did we not have a army base for this stuff?

I have been told the name a 100 times but I always put it out of my mind as it is just to awful to think about.

2. Izzie, are you thinking of Bagram?

That's the U.S. base in Afghanistan that's produced more than a few "unexplained" deaths (of Afghan prisoners) due to "approved interrogation techniques" by the U.S.

Or are you trying to remember someplace else, inside Iraq or Kuwait?
