By now I'm sure you've all heard about the ABC Story about Iraqi Detainees being tortured. Well the Guardian U.K. has reported a new wrinkle.
"Graphic photographs showing the torture and sexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners in a US-run prison outside Baghdad emerged yesterday from a military inquiry which has left six soldiers facing a possible court martial and a general under investigation.
The scandal has also brought to light the growing and largely unregulated role of private contractors in the interrogation of detainees.
According to lawyers for some of the soldiers, they claimed to be acting in part under the instruction of mercenary interrogators hired by the Pentagon.
What the hell is going on over there in Iraq? The United States Army hiring mercenaries to interrogate prisoners? Has the world gone mad?
Got the story from This Modern World. We'll see how this shakes out.
