That was no answer....it was an opinion piece based on nothing. OK, Mr. Secretary. How about homicide? That is the cause of death listed by U.S. military coroners for two prisoners in American custody at the Bagram air base, north of Kabul. The coroners found the men had been beaten; one had a blood clot in his lung. The investigation is continuing. Google search on "Bagram Kabul homicide" --------------------------------------------------- Amnesty International and others have called for an independent inquiry into the treatment of detainees at the U.S. military base at Bagram, just north of Kabul. Two prisoners died there in December of causes that a pathologist listed as "homicide" on their death certificates. The military at Bagram is conducting its own investigation. washingtonpost.com ------------------------------ Afghan War Prisoners Beaten To Death At US Base By Duncan Campbell in Los Angeles The Guardian - UK 3-28-3 Two prisoners who died while being held for interrogation at the US military base in Afghanistan had apparently been beaten, according to a military pathologist's report. A criminal investigation is now under way into the deaths which have both been classified as homicides. The deaths have led to calls for an inquiry into what interrogation techniques are being used at the base where it is believed the al-Qaida leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, is now also being held. Former prisoners at the base claim that detainees are chained to the ceiling, shackled so tightly that the blood flow stops, kept naked and hooded and kicked to keep them awake for days on end. rense.com jttmab
