Attorney Shareef Akeel's fact-finding mission to Iraq yielded testimony from 50 plaintiffs implicating American personnel in instances of abuse, torture and rape committed at US-run detention facilities as recently as last month.

An attorney representing former detainees says his recent fact-finding mission to Baghdad uncovered dozens of cases of physical and psychological abuse, sexual humiliation, religious desecration and rape in ten US-run prisons throughout occupied Iraq.

The NewStandard spoke with Michigan-based attorney Shereef Akeel, who interviewed some 50 former detainees about their time and treatment in US custody. Part of the legal team behind a class action lawsuit against the firms for their employees’ involvement in prison abuse at US-run facilities in Iraq, the former immigration lawyer found himself traveling to meet face-to-face with the people he is representing in the American court system.

His team has documented abuse dating from July 2003 to as recently as last month, when an Iraqi boy just fifteen years old says his captors at an American facility raped him. "He was told to go on all fours naked and was sodomized from behind," Akeel conveyed the fifteen year-old’s testimony. "He said they made him dance and he was crying."

this is a long article and the last paragraph said:

One witness Akeel had hoped to interview will not be part of the lawsuit. Akeel said he was expecting to speak with a woman who had been raped at one US-run prison, and later discovered she was pregnant. Tragically, she killed herself before they could meet.

1. kicked and recommended....

Excellent article.

on edit-- they do this in our names:

In another account, a doctor first taken to a presidential palace and made to stand there for hours on end, told Akeel that he was then taken to the Abu Ghraib prison where he watched a naked prisoner forced onto the running engine of a Humvee, leaving the man with irreparable burns.

4. Didn't someone who was

formally a Clinton aide or involved in his administration say that something like that comes directly from the top?
