Al, John......I don't get this.......they are keeping the prisoners nude and raping them is fairly commonplace??? I understand Bush doesn't want to abide by the Geneva Conventions but this is out of some bizarro, kink magazine. What gives? Is our military run primarily by US prison wardens? This is very sick stuff! We have lost this war man. What is happening in Fallujah, An Najaf, many other places around the country, coupled to these shameful revelations will be impossible to overcome. I am stricken with grief and fear for what lies ahead. Al

Former human rights minister told Bremer about Iraq detainee abuse Mon May 3,12:31 PM ET Add Mideast - AFP to My Yahoo! BAGHDAD (AFP) - Former Iraqi human rights minister Abdel Basset Turki said US overseer Paul Bremer knew in November that Iraqi prisoners were being abused in US detention centres. "In November I talked to Mr Bremer about human rights violations in general and in jails in particular. He listened but there was no answer. At the first meeting, I asked to be allowed to visit the security prisoners, but I failed," Turki told AFP on Monday. "I told him the news. He didn't take care about the information I gave him." The coalition had no immediate comment about Turki's meeting with Bremer. The minister, whose resignation was formally accepted by the coalition on Sunday, said he told Bremer about his meetings with former detainees. "The prisoners I spoke to, they told me about how Iraqi prisoners were left in the sun on US bases for hours, prevented to pray and wash and left for two days on a chair and kicked at Abu Gharib," he said. story.news.yahoo.com
