MANNHEIM, Germany - In the months before the scandal broke over photographs of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, an intelligence supervisor at Abu Ghraib prison sent a memo to interrogators telling them "the gloves are coming off," regarding the treatment of detainees, an attorney for one of the accused said yesterday. ..

'A smoking gun'

The memo imploring intelligence officers and military police to gain more information supports that contention, Bergrin said.

"It's a smoking gun," he said. "What this memo does is corroborate our position - which has been our position all along - that very aggressive interrogation techniques were being employed at Abu Ghraib prison and those techniques were called for at the highest levels." ..

1. We need to know as much as possible about the upcoming trials

From the article Nambe provided:

The memo he provided yesterday asked for a "wish list" by Aug. 17, 2003, of "what techniques would they feel would be effective."

This is hideous. It shows you that merely living in a technologically advanced culture doesn't mean you are civilized personally. Unbe-cheneying-lievable.
