Hmmm. Private "Contractors" are committing atrocities. Shocking.
Americans follow Saddam"s traditions of torturing prisoners
Currently the name of only one torturer is known - sergeant Chip Frederic who had worked as a prison warder back in the USA and came to Iraq on a contract basis. He tried to find excuses for his conduct, but they did not sound convincing enough,"I was a good prison warder, and later was trusted with conducting interrogations. The criminals quickly admitted their guilt to us - in several hours".
Perhaps the worst bit of news is that apparently this guy runs prisons back here. I really have to wonder if perhaps things like this are happening under his authority here as well...
The sergeant and his fellow-warders claim that they had no idea of the Geneva Convention.So, they'd let the Geneva convention stop them, but only in places where it is in effect. Since said convention isn't in the US, I have to wonder about how well this guy protects his prisoners at home...
