It's Torture!

The Washington Post reports that female interrogators at Guantanamo repeatedly used "sexually suggestive" tactics to "humiliate and pry information out of" prisoners, who they call "devout Muslim men." We quote:

The prisoners have told their lawyers, who compiled the accounts, that female interrogators regularly violated Muslim taboos about sex and contact with women.

[They were in the same room with adult males unrelated to them.]

The women rubbed their bodies against the men, wore skimpy clothes in front of them, made sexually explicit remarks and touched them provocatively, at least eight detainees said in documents or through their attorneys.

[They shook the men's hands, wore skirts that came all the way up to their knees and blouses that revealed their wrists and neck, said hello, big boy, and shook their hands again]

The inquiry uncovered numerous instances in which female interrogators, using dye, pretended to spread menstrual blood on Muslim men, the official said. Separately, in court papers and public statements, three detainees say that women smeared them with blood

[Here, just talking about your period in front of a guy constitutes torture.  Not to nitpick, but numerous= 3?  There's a joke in there but this website is viewed by minors.]

The military investigation (...) confirmed one case in which an Army interrogator took off her uniform top and paraded around in a tight T-shirt to make a Guantanamo detainee uncomfortable.

[Would this be the same way that two women hugging at the State of the Union Address makes Ron Reagan uncomfortable or the same way that having his head cut off made Daniel Pearl uncomfortable?]

Defense Department officials said they have reprimanded two female interrogators for such tactics.

[Naughty, naughty girls!]

Some of the accounts resemble the sexual aspects of the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib. Photographs that became public last year showed a servicewoman there holding naked prisoners on a leash and posing next to a pile of naked prisoners.

[Real comparable.]

Pentagon officials said yesterday that wearing skimpy clothing or engaging in provocative touching and banter would be inappropriate interrogation techniques.

"I don't see that as being authorized by secretary of defense's approved interrogation techniques for Guantanamo," said Col. David McWilliamsa spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command in Miami, which oversees operations at Guantanamo Bay.

[Oh, grow some balls. General Mattis, we have a job opening up in the US Southern Command.]

Detainee lawyers likened the tactics to Nazis shaving the beards of orthodox Jews or artists dunking a crucifix in urine to shock Christians. "They're exploiting religious beliefs to break them down, to destroy them," said Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents several dozen detainees. "What they're doing, it reminds me of a pornographic Web site -- it's like the fantasy of all these S&M clubs."

[No good defense misses the chance to compare lap dancing with Kristallnacht. Shtupping Macht Frei!]

He recounted to his lawyer that when he refused to talk in one interview, a female soldier entered wearing a tight T-shirt.
"Why aren't you married?" she reportedly asked Esmail. "You are a young man and have needs. What do you like?"
Esmail said "she bent down with her breasts on the table and her legs almost touching" him. "Are you going to talk," she asked, "or are we going to do this for six hours?"

[Don't! Stop! I'm begging you! Don't stop!!]

Quid Nimis is glad that apparently some in the military are taking the advice of Bill Maher, to wit:

If we really want to stop terrorism, we have to get Muslim men laid. Five British Muslims who were recently sent home from our prison at Guantanamo, charge that their American captors brought in prostitutes to taunt them, because most had never even seen a naked woman before. And it made me wonder how many members of Al Qaeda have even dated a girl? We should hire women to infiltrate Al Qaeda cells and (asterisk) them. Things would change quickly because young Muslim men don't really hate America. They're jealous of America. We have rap videos and the Hilton sisters and magazines with titles like Barely Legal. You know what's "barely legal" in Afghanistan? Everything!

Young men need sex, and if they don't get it for month and after month after month, they wind up cursing the day they ever decided to go to Cornell.

 Have you ever wondered why the word from the Arab street is always so angry? It's because it's a bunch of guys standing in the street! Which is what guys do when they don't have girlfriends, when they're not allowed to even talk to a girl. Of course they want to commit suicide! Unlike this country where it's the married guys who want to kill themselves. (...)

We need the Coalition of the Willing to be really willing! We need to mobilize two divisions of skanks - a regiment of ho's, and a brigade of girls who just can't say no. All under the command of Col. Ann Coulter. Who will be dressed in her "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS" uniform.

Forget the Peace Corps. We need a "Piece of A** Corps"! Girls, there's a cure to terrorism, and you're sitting on it!
