Yes it is. The nudity, the dogs, water-boarding, the hooding and the forced standing or hanging with electrodes attached are all torture techniques that the CIA taught at the School of the Americas. They were adopted after Rumsfeld urged harsher interrogation techniques and Gonzales wrote that it couldn't hurt legally because they were alle terrorists anyway. These techniques then 'travelled' from Afghanistan to Guantanamo and from Guantanamo to Abu Ghraib, partly because the same CIA, Army and private security personnel were involved in all of these spots.Originally Posted by Proletariat
And beheadings have nothing to do with this. The official Army report acknowledges that seventy to ninety percent of Abu Ghraib prisoners were innocent and just did not have their papers in order.
