Soldier: Role was to 'make it hell' for prisoners
Edited on Sat May-08-04 01:21 PM by Danieljay
This goes all the way to the top..and I personally think Bush knew all along. Rumsfeld says "everyone knew" then Bush says he didn't know til he saw it on tv? What gives?

Bush better go down for this. If Bush is re-elected after this there is little hope for this country.

"They would bring in one to several prisoners at a time already hooded and cuffed," Harman said by e-mail this week from Baghdad. "The job of the MP was to keep them awake, make it hell so they would talk."

"The person who brought them in would set the standards on whether or not to 'be nice,' " she said. "If the prisoner was cooperating, then the prisoner was able to keep his jumpsuit, mattress, and was allowed cigarettes on request or even hot food. But if the prisoner didn't give what they wanted, it was all taken away until (military intelligence) decided. Sleep, food, clothes, mattresses, cigarettes were all privileges and were granted with information received."
