Saddam's torture was way worse than our torture, so the Iraqis still have an overall improvement in human rights! How dare they be upset, the ungrateful bastards!
The right wingers are starting to laugh at the torture photos. Rush Limbaugh says that they're little more than a frat hazing - a college prank. The soldiers were just "having a good time," and enjoying an "emotional release." I guess the fat sack is back on drugs again.
U.S. soldiers who detained an elderly Iraqi woman last year placed a harness on her, made her crawl on all fours and rode her like a donkey, Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal human rights envoy to Iraq said Wednesday.
The envoy, legislator Ann Clwyd, said she had investigated the claims of the woman in her 70s and believed they were true...
...Clwyd said the Iraqi woman was arrested in Iraq in July and accused of having links to a former member of Saddam Hussein's regime — a charge she denied.
The abuse occurred last year in Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison and at another coalition detention center, Clwyd said.
"She was held for about six weeks without charge," the envoy told Wednesday's Evening Standard newspaper. "During that time she was insulted and told she was a donkey. A harness was put on her, and an American rode on her back."
Clwyd said the woman has recovered physically but remains traumatized.
"I am satisfied the case has now been resolved satisfactorily," the envoy told British Broadcasting Corp. radio Wednesday. "She got a visit last week from the authorities, and she is about to have her papers and jewelry returned to her."
