To-days Observer[uk] gives an account by a British Officer recently returned from Iraq, " Sexual humiliation of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was not an invention of "maverick guards" but part of a system of degradation developed for use by British and US troops called R21- resistance to interrogation- which uses sexual jibes and and stripping prisoners to prolong "the shock of capture" when detainees are at their most vunerable.

What has emerged is the role that US military intellegence officers - and private intellegence contractors- have played in directing the abuse with most of the reservists involved alleging that they thought their duty was to "soften up" the prisoners for questioning."

What really has emerged is that Bush -Blair and their hencemen are all guilty of war crimes.
