An ex-Army interrogator punished for sexually humiliating detainees at the Guantanamo prison is now teaching soldiers interrogation techniques, the Daily News has learned.

Former Staff Sgt. Jeannette Arocho-Burkart, 37, is an instructor at the Army Intelligence School in Fort Huachuca, Ariz., despite being reprimanded in 2003 for her sexually taunting tactics that included smearing fake menstrual blood on terror suspects, according to four sources who knew her there.

"She did get in trouble," confirmed one former colleague at Gitmo. "Huachuca could probably do better."

The source said that Arocho-Burkart was a "competent" interrogator, but "she fudged the line to an uncomfortable level."

"It wasn't torture, but touching the detainee inappropriately to humiliate him," the source said.

1. SUPPORT THE THUG CRIMINAL TROOPS

This is the shit I have complained about HERE continuously.

The military has a lot of these sweet hearts. They are CRIMINALS. AND DESERVE TO GO TO JAIL.



On Edit; Shit like this doesn't go over too good in the Middle East and the idea of smearing menstrual blood on Muslim males is ragged on by Muslim Mullahs in the Mosques as an example of how Screwed up America is.

This is Lynddie England behavior, where she tied her used Kotex PADS to the Faces of the POWS

(Not familiar with the source, but the information surely sounds standard for these people.)

3. if I'm not mistaken, the army is DESPERATE to produce...

...more "trained interrogators," after all, we're in a perpetual war against much of the world, and we're trying to become an imperial power, and all that. They undoubtedly anticipate the increasing need to wring information from an exploding number of people all over the world. I suspect that Atilla the Hun would have gotten a teaching post at Huachuca if he were available.
