Why don't you see anal rape as falling under the "cruel and unusual" group of impermissible punishments? It is my understanding this is not unusual at all in today's jails and prisons. All the more reason not to do anything to get thrown into one. So you think the US military's behavior in Abu Grave was appropriate? Where? Never heard of any such place. Matt |

The most notorious case was that of Private Lynddie England who was jailed for three years after a picture of her holding a naked inmate on a dog lead was circulated around the world. The subsequent political scandal caused tremendous damage to the public image of the coalition forces, with critics arguing that it was representative of a broader American attitude towards Iraqis. Thousands of people are held on suspicion of guerrilla activity for many months. The United Nations and Iraqi ministers have complained that the system is an abuse of human rights. |
