Bodies of G.I.’s Show Signs of Torture, Iraqi General Says: “The American military said today that it had found the remains of what appears to be the two American soldiers captured by insurgents last week in an ambush south of the capital, and a senior Iraqi military official said the two men had been ‘brutally tortured.’
The two Americans were found near a power plant in the vicinity of Yusefiya.
An American military official in Baghdad, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that both bodies showed evidence of ‘severe trauma’ and that they could not be conclusively identified. Insurgents had planted ‘numerous’ bombs along the road leading to the bodies, and around the bodies themselves, the official said, slowing the retrieval of the Americans by 12 hours.” (New York Times )
I am not saying anything brilliant in asking what in the world a US regime that abrogates treaties and standards for the humane treatment fo our prisoners of war enemy combatants could expect?
