Prison Abuse: An MI Officer Sounds Off Geneva Convention did not apply

[MSgt213]

Hack,

The abuse and humiliation actually took place at 3 prisons in the Baghdad area. This was not done by accident, it was a planned, systematic way to break down the prisoners will to resist any interrogation, degrade them and then blackmail them into working for US Intelligence.

The pictures were taken as a way to intimidate the prisoner and then keep them working as low level collectors (if they did not the pictures would have been released to their family and tribes) Videos were also made as a way to record the "success" to be used as a teaching tool at Fort Huachuca (to train future interrogators). The MPs and Interrogators were told the Geneva Convention did not apply to Iraq Soldiers and Civilian Detainees. The methods the MPs used were actually taught to the MPs by military intelligence professionals and civilian contractors. This was a sanctioned operation and the methods were known to be used by Generals in the chain of command. Women MPs were sought out to further humiliate the Iraqi prisoners. The female MPs who accepted the jobs, conducted degrading acts upon the Iraq men, because such acts by women on men in the Arab culture are so humiliating, it was thought that the men would then talk just to stop the abuse by the female MPs. This abuse was done in stages and the less cooperative Iraqis were given the more degrading abuse to condition them to interrogation. The Major General (Barbara Fast) in charge of the MI personnel in Baghdad sanctioned this treatment.

2. If you believe this, I have some nice beachfront property in Florida...

I have many friends and relatives who have served in the military. Among them are an MI officer and one who did MP duty while stationed overseas and later worked for several years as a security officer in a federal prison.

Any person in custody of the US military for any reason is entitled to be treated according to Geneva Convention protocols at all times. There are no exceptions whatsoever. People are kept in prison AS punishment, or to protect them people outside of prison from each other.

Interrogating prisoners beyond name, rank, and serial number is NEVER a proper role for ANY military person, much less an NCO or enlisted grunt. When outside of the territorial boundaries of the USA that is the job of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Our military forces should never be saddled with that responsibility. Their job is to kill some people, capture or disarm others as needed, blow things up, and hold ground. No member of the US armed forces should ever be involved in the interrogation of any prisoner.

3. The influence of Col. Michael Aquino is so much a part of the culture of

US Army MI/PSYOPS and the Defense Intelligence Agency that I've heard rumors of SRA/Satanic Ritual Abuse being on videos from Iraq and that arrests were being prevented-then there are the mercenaries-this is the putrid culture of the national security community real Nazis, organized crime, mercenaries and cult criminals hiding in national security:nuke: That's going to change. It's clean-up time.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
