4/28 Frederick is charged with maltreatment, assault and indecent acts
for posing for a photograph while sitting on top of a detainee,
striking detainees and ordering detainees to strike each other,
among other things.
Frederick wrote home to his family about the treatment of prisoners.
He said in an e-mail: "We helped getting them to talk with the way
we handle them. We've had a very high rate with our styles of
getting them to break; they usually end up breaking within hours."
The pictures 60 Minutes II obtained show an Iraqi prisoner who,
according to the U.S. Army, was told to stand on a box with his head
covered and wires attached to his hands. That prisoner was told that
if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted. In another
photograph, prisoners' bodies were stacked in a pyramid - one body
had a slur written in English on his skin.
\_ What do you expect? Right after 9/11, card carrying liberals
(by no means all, but still) were speaking out to promote torture
and brutality (some actually used these words), as long as we
are the ones doing it.
\_ now this is a troll
\_ I guess you weren't paying attention back then.
\_ And this is a desperate troll. |
