Ed comments on the just-released independent investigation of GITMO:
An independent investigation into the detention facility at Gunatanamo Bay
housing terrorists captured by the US only turned up three violations of Army
regulations and the Geneva Conventions, the AP reports today. None
of these involved torture of any kind, although one investigator
found that the totality of techniques used on one prisoner qualified as “abusive”…As the data from this Senate hearing gets disseminated, watch to see where
the overall violations get reported. In this article by the AP’s John Lumpkin
and Lolita Baldor, the fact that investigators could only
find three violations out of thousands of interrogations performed at Gitmo
gets held until the eleventh paragraph, about halfway through
the report. Instead of putting this information into its proper context, Lumpkin
and Baldor instead offer up some of the more sensational interrogation techniques
used by Gitmo intelligence operatives…
