As bad as a fraternity prank...

...or a PE shower? You decide.

According to the Denver Post...
...During interrogation, detainee was kicked in the rib cage, punched in kidney area and slapped in the head.

...The detainee, an escapee who had been recaptured, was shackled to the door of his cell with his hands over his head and gagged. Five minutes later, he was found dead.

...Military police officer used butt of M-4 rifle to strike a detainee in the face and on the back of the neck. Then the officer placed the muzzle of his M-4 rifle in the detainee's mouth and pulled trigger on the empty weapon.

...a "high-priority target," was placed inside a sleeping bag with only his feet exposed. He was rolled back and forth while being questioned. One of the interrogators sat on his chest and placed hands over his mouth. He died during the interrogation, and an autopsy confirmed evidence of blunt force trauma to the chest and legs.

...A guard...fatally shot a detainee who was throwing rocks.

...A sergeant beat a detainee while his squad leader was present.


This is apart from the Al Ghraib torture cases.

Can we stop talking about 'a few bad apples' now?
