Torture Memo: Detainees Can Be Naked In Front Of Women, Causing "Pyschological Discomfort" For "Modest" Detainees
From one of the May 2005 OLC memos by Steven Bradbury:
Nudity. This technique is used to cause psychological discomfort, particularly if a detainee, for cultural or other reasons, is especially modest ... [I]nterrogators can exploit the detainee's fear of being seen naked. In addition, female officers involved in the interrogation process may see the detainees naked; and for purposes of our analysis, we will assume that detainees subjected to nudity as an interrogation technique are aware that they may be seen naked by female.

So much for treating suspects with dignity, never mind with due process.

Until these crimes are prosecuted we are all accessories.
E-mails to the Department of Justice, including the Attorney General, may be sent to AskDOJ@usdoj.gov.
E-mails will be forwarded to the responsible Department of Justice component for appropriate handling.

Would that responsible department be the circular file?

These heinous bastards tortured innocent Iraqi's for information on the location of non existing WMD's in a vain attempt to cover their asses for starting an illegal war.
Enjoy.

So condoms are the devil's work, but male nude strip shows for the female guards, perfectly fine? And I don't even wnat to get in the homosexual-porn-like photos of naked men towers in Abu Ghraib.
Freud could write a book on these folks.
