Reply #5: The torturers were MPs not MI

[jmowreader]

It is my experience that if the MI unit doesn't own its MP element, the MPs will do any damn thing they feel like, including not showing up at all.

In this case, it looks like the MP unit is full of freepers. You know the freepers are looking at those photos thinking, "how come I never get to do fun stuff like that?"

This aberration is also far, far outside doctrine--MPs are supposed to be security forces, and ONLY security forces, at PW camps because they're not trained to handle prisoners. Find me an MP who speaks Arabic. If you can, his name's probably Muhammad or Tariq or something similar. Interrogators who handle Arabic missions all speak Arabic at some level of comprehension; the Army pays the big bucks to ensure they can.
