Former Head of Abu Ghraib talks

Very interesting interview of the former head of the Abu Ghraib prison!

If you are interested in the details of what happened there, read the transcript or watch the video.

To sum it up, several things are pretty clear:
  • Interrogation methods were transferred from Guantanamo
  • This was not the result of a few bad apples
  • Rumsfeld knew all about it, authorized it and even ordered it
  • The top leaders of the military and the US administration knew they were breaking the Geneva convention and thought that without breaking it they would never get the value prisoners to give them valuable info
  • All this was put in place because it was thought it was crucial to win the war, hence the proper budget allocated to it
  • Guantanamo prisoners considered like terrorists will never get out of there, ever. They will never be sentenced either. Just kept there against International Rules!
I don't go against the fact the human species is full of people who believe that we still live in the stone age and that force is the only answer, but not admitting doing it in blaming it on the people who received the order to implement it is really going over my limit!!!
Sometimes I wish there was Hell so these people could rot there for eternity.
