[edited] Could you post the source? I looked around on the net and this is all I find:

Asked whether there were signs of torture, Gen. Brooks said: "We don't have any information, to my knowledge, that there were indications of torture devices. I have not seen reports that would account for that. It may be too early for me to say conclusively that there were or were not. We continue to roll up information from the actual actions at the objective from the assault force."

By the way, one of the more bizarre subjects I read up about when I had months of summer vacations was psychological & physical torture - minimizing damage & dealing with aftereffects if ever you are tortured, as well as the most effective methods (max pain, min visible damage, keeping the tortured person conscious as well as alive).

They just reported that both her legs and one arm were broken. These are not military injuries, but torture

I am not saying Iraqis did not torture this woman. However, I find it hard to believe that they would have led such sheltered lives and had so little idea about torture that they would think it is about breaking her legs & arms and shooting her :-)
