Mejia post...detention camp run by US

> During another assignment, Mejia's company ran a detention camp. "They

> explains. There, intelligence officers ordered Mejia's squad to
> psychologically torture three suspected resistance fighters. The hooded
> and bound prisoners were
> placed in isolation, intimidated with mock executions and forced to stay
> awake for days at a time. "We had one guy lose his mind. He was locked in
> a little metal closet that we'd bang with a sledgehammer every five
> minutes to keep him up. He started crying and begging to lie down." When
> asked how the prisoners were fed and given water, Mejia stares off into
> space for a moment, and then says, "I don't remember how we fed them."
> This soft-spoken young man has plenty of other bad stories to tell.
