And We're Supposed to be the Good Guys?

Gitmo Soldier Details Sexual Tactics in which they used women to taunt, tease, tittilate and otherwise try to "break" devoutly Muslim prisoners.

One went so far as to fake wiping menstrual blood on a prisoner's face and then tell him he will have no water to clean it off with.

Released prisoners have told that they were tormented by "prostitutes" who were soldiers dressed up in slutty clothes to make the prisoners uncomfortable.

This is fucking sick and wrong and there's no justification for it. And the fact that the torture of prisoners from this war and the Iraq thing hasn't slowed down at all, in fact, it seems like there are more stories of torture every day. It ably demonstrates that this administration isn't concerned with human rights or following a long established set of rules about how POWs can be treated.

I'm thoroughly disgusted by my government and its wanton practices.
