Torture
Now THIS is torture
US forces in Iraq discover torture house
MAY 24, 2007 --In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like "blowtorch to the skin" and "eye removal." Along with the images, which you'll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters. Photos of those items can be seen here. The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an "al-Qaeda torture chamber." It was there, during an April 24 raid, that soldiers found a man suspended from the ceiling by a chain. According to the military, he had been abducted from his job and was being beaten daily by his captors. In a raid earlier this week, Coalition Forces freed five Iraqis who were found in a padlocked room in Karmah. The group, which included a boy, were reportedly beaten with chains, cables, and hoses.
(Dont’ worry, the political and religious left won’t care. They will harp about Guantanimo for the next 100 years)

Iraqi translators tortured to death
2007 - An Iraqi translator named Kamal, who worked for the US military answers his phone one day in 2007. The number belonged to a trusted friend and fellow interpreter, but it was not his voice on the phone. It was a murderous insurgent, who said coldly, “You’re next.”
A few days later, the body of his friend was found. His body was riddled with holes from a power drill bit. The flesh on his back had been burned off with an electric heater.
Another translater, Ibrahim, reported that 42 of his friends were kidnapped and tortured to death in similar ways when their identities were given to murderous insurgents by a snitch.
