More Prisoner Abuse Stuff

There's some pretty bad things coming out about prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Two Defense Department Intelligence officials witnessed some mean nasty things at Abu Ghairb, and when they objected they were threatened and told to keep quiet by some of the mean military interrogators.

The memorandum said the two D.I.A. officials, who were not identified,
had found the keys to their vehicles confiscated, and been instructed "not
to leave the compound without specific permission, even to get a haircut";
they were also threatened, and told their e-mail messages were being
screened.

And some of the mean nasty things they saw:

an interrogator from the Special Operations unit known as Task Force
6-26 "punch a prisoner in the face to the point the individual needed
medical attention."

prisoners being brought in to a detention center with burn marks on
their backs and complaining about sore kidneys

And in a related incident in Guantanamo, we have this:

The Associated Press reported Monday that one F.B.I. official had
written in a memorandum of witnessing a series of coercive procedures
at Guantánamo, among them a female interrogator squeezing the genitals
of a detainee and bending back his thumbs painfully.

Our interrogators aren't being very nice and playing by the rules. I'm really scared about what might happen to our soldiers if they get captured. Paybacks can be even meaner.
