[QUOTE]Originally posted by Highway Hoss: [QB] A [URL=http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1212197,00.html]new article[/URL] in the British newspaper [i]The Guardian[/i] notes that the tortures used on Iraqi prisoners were in fact taught to both US and UK forces as part of so called "R2I" (resistance to interrogation) techniques. Many of the atrocities caught in those infamous photos were developed by both US and UK Special Forces as a means of enabling soldiers to resist interrrogation. These techniques were apparently disseminated among both US and UK troops. THis to me marks the difference between these events and what those Iraqis did to those four contracters; certainly what they did was horrifying and barbaric. However this was a one-time "spur of the monment" event doen by a small group of Iraqis. THe torture of prisoners in Abu Ghazi OTOH was systematic and ongiong and seemed to have the implicit approval and encouragement of at least some highers ups. BTW I heard GEN Miller's speech about changing procedures to prevent these kind of atrocities...which I find hypocritical because [i]he was the one who recommended these "procedures" in the first place.[/i] He should at least be called on the carpet to explain his actions.
