Female torturers use fake "menstrual" blood - story on AAR right now..
Advertisements [?]
Mark Moran and Mark Riley on AARs Morning Sedition have been reporting all morning that female interrogators at Guantanamo have been used to wear scanty clothing, thongs, etc. or appear nude to sexually stimulate Muslim male prisoners who are not supposed to look upon women in this way because of religious beliefs. According to the story the women have rubbed their body parts on the men and behaved in lewd fashion to break down the prisoners.

These female interrogators supposedly rub their own genitals and then rub red ink on the faces of the prisoners making them believe it is menstrual blood. According to Muslim law, to touch a woman during menses is forbidden and makes them unclean for prayer. Then they turn off the water in the cells making it impossible for the men to wash.
One prisoner is reported to have broken his ankle that was shackled while trying to resist being touched in this way.

While there are probably plenty of American men who would enjoy this kind of "interrogation" it is truly a form of torture for those whose beliefs are different.

Is the military leadership sick or what?
