Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib just the tip of the iceberg
An Amnesty International report released today claims that thousands of prisoners being detained by the US-led forces in Iraq are being held without their legal rights being respected and in many cases there is evidence of torture being applied. Detainees are being held without charge or trial and methods of torture included “knee-capping” using an electric drill, electric shocks, burning of the face with lighted cigarettes, as well as beatings and forcing prisoners to maintain “stress positions” for long periods of time.
