The individual soldiers should know better than to do things like this - whether ordered to or not. I don't believe most were ordered to do anything like this. It is not effective, it is just stupid, repulsive behavior.

"Embarrassment as a humane interrogation technique" does not begin to explain the more colorful photos we are not allowed to see, some involving sodomizing male detainees with broomsticks and the like. Besides, anyone familiar with the ME people can tell you that while they are a male-dominated society that does not like nudity and being ordered around by women, if indeed one is a terrorist bearing secrets, he is not going to tell all just because the enemy might take a naked photo of him. Also, it cannot hurt to remember that these are the people who lived under a brutal dictator who ordered torture all around the place. Assuming a couple of naked photos are going to make these people crack is rather naive.
