New Torture: Dogs used to maim naked iraqi prisoner

[ringmastery]

In “Chain of Command,” in the May 17, 2004, issue of The New Yorker, Seymour M. Hersh describes new photos he has obtained of a dog attacking a naked Iraqi detainee at Abu Ghraib prison on December 12, 2003. The photos, which had been in the possession of a member of the 320th Military Police Battalion, show the Iraqi with his hands clasped behind his back, “leaning against the door to a cell, contorted with terror, as the dogs bark a few feet away,” Hersh reports. In another photo, taken a few minutes later, “the Iraqi is lying on the ground, writhing in pain, with a soldier sitting on top of him, knee pressed to his back. Blood is streaming from the inmate’s leg.” Retired Major General Charles Hines, who was commandant of the Army’s military police school during a twenty-eight year career in military-law enforcement, tells Hersh, “I would never have authorized it for interrogating or coercing prisoners. If I had, I’d have been put in jail or kicked out of the Army.”

1. Frat prank.

Yup, used to do that all the time right after all the forced homosexual sex, electrocutions, and beatings.
