Yet Another True Story About Stupid Studies:

Report cites 'degrading' Guantanamo treatment:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Guantanamo Bay interrogators degraded and abused a key prisoner but did not torture him when they told him he was gay, forced him to dance with another man and made him wear a bra and perform dog tricks, military investigators said on Wednesday.

Ok, ok, ok. How do you say "Sticks and stones...," in Farsi or Shiite or Arabic or Serbian, or whatever these bedwetters speak? What's more, if this is the worst these rat-bastards have been through, this whining little too-gutless-to-be-a-suicide-bombing pansy probably is gay.

The general who heads Southern Command, responsible for the jail for foreign terrorism suspects at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, also said he rejected his investigators' recommendation to punish a former commander of the prison.

Well, that's a big mistake. This commander should be punished if this is the best he can do. What's he going to try next? Surprise? Fear? Sarcasm and Irony? Good lord man, we're interrogating terrorists! Where's Eliot Ness when you need him?

A military report presented before the Senate Armed Services Committee stated a Saudi man, described as the '20th hijacker' slated to have participated in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America, was forced by interrogators in late 2002 to wear a bra and had women's thong underwear placed on his head.

Oh, wow - let me call Amnesty International and the Red Cross! Who knows what horrors these guys will face next? Wedgies?

U.S. interrogators also told him he was a homosexual, forced him to dance with a male interrogator, told him his mother and sister were whores,...

Well, now here just have a simple failure to communicate, perhaps a clash of western and middle eastern culture (if I may call it that.) I mean, don't the Paris Island DI's say the same things to our own enlistees? And, heck, this might not have been directed to them at all. Such verbiage is regularly bantered back and forth at Gitmo guards' card games I'd figger.

… forced him to wear a leash and perform dog tricks,...

Yeah, and if he hadn't begged out of doing a couple shooters on religious grounds he could have already been a frat brother at DTG at Princeton.

...menaced him with a dog and regularly subjected him to interrogations up to 20 hours a day for about two months, the report said.

Uh, huh. And the problem with that is...? I'll tell you the problem. They need to menace him more, and quit working half-days. I didn't hear anything about him spilling the beans. Did you? I understand a sock fillled with pennies hurts like a mofo, but doesn't leave too bad a bruise...
