U.S. Soldiers Told to ”Beat the F**k Out of” Detainees

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is charging that U.S. Army documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that the mistreatment of detainees in Iraq was much more widespread than the government has admitted..

The advocacy group also accused the Army of failing to comply with a court order to release the documents and manipulating the media ”to minimise coverage and public access.”

The ACLU said the reason for the delay in delivering the more than 1,200 pages of documents was ”evident in the contents”, which include reports of brutal beatings, ”exercise until exhaustion” and sworn statements that soldiers were told to ”beat the f**k out of” detainees. One file cites evidence that military intelligence personnel in Iraq ”tortured” detainees held in their custody.

yep, winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis...

anbd referring to my previous post, who is actually that "evil genius"? The U.S. resembles that evil beast more than anything else.
