Still, the photos from an Iraqi prison, including one showing naked prisoners piled atop one another, bothered the retired Air Force lieutenant colonel.
"A lot of times I was in solitary confinement and that sort of thing, and there was some physical mistreatment such as slapping, kicking and hitting with a stick," said Duquette, of Cedar Falls, a pilot who spent 20 months as a prisoner during the Korean War. "But there was no sexual activity of the kind portrayed there in Iraq."
