Iraq: US general faces cruelty charges

A US general responsible for four jails in Iraq has been suspended pending an investigation into alleged abuse of her prisoners.

Brigadier General Janis Karpinski is among seven officers facing charges that soldiers under their command mistreated detainees.

The suspension follows shocking US television images of US soldiers stacking prisoners on top of each other and even applying electrodes to one at Abu Ghuraib prison near Baghdad.

1. That stuff made me cringe. Its amazing how fast you can strip the humanity
away from people and they turn into bastards. That grinning
girl was the worst. She was absolutely the worst. If she was
mine, she would be looking for a new mother.
