http://shieldofachilles.blogspot.com/2007/05/torture-manual-found-in-iraq.html

US forces in Anbar province uncovered a Sunni torture house, and freed
17 prisoners, including a 13 year old boy who had been beaten and
tortured with electrocution. A torture manual was also found, pictures
and video here (images are disturbing).

When searching for more information on this report, I did a Yahoo!
search on "torture manual found in iraq", I came up with over 525,000
hits. Incredibly, over 90% of these links were to web sites listing
the abuses of prisoners at Abu Gharayb or criticising alleged CIA
torture techniques. Very little of it had to do with insurgent
torture, or by anyone else other than the United States.
[This manual] shows how to use drills to torture people, sever hands,
drag people behind vehicles, use a blowtorch or clothes iron on skin,
remove eyes and electrocute people, among other tactics
The manual is made up of very graphic illustrations of men under
torture. No Arabic writing; presumably it was meant for distribution
to people who may not speak Arabic or are illiterate (as about 59% of
Iraqis cannot read). I have a question: Where in Guantanamo Bay, the
CIA "Secret Prisons" or in Abu Gharayb, did the US ever sever hands,
drag people behind vehicles, use a blowtorch or clothes iron on skin,
remove eyes or and electrocute people?
[On the former prisoner there were] deep pocks, apparently from
electric shock burns, were gouged in his skin. The shocks, he said,
felt "like my soul is being ripped out of my body." But when he would
start to scream, and his body would pull up from the shock, they would
begin to beat him, he said.
There is a giant, quantum leap between using dogs to threaten
prisoners or waterboarding them (which hasn't even been proven) to
severing limbs or gouging out their eyes. I am not excusing any crimes
done to prisoners at the hands of US forces, but the fact that so much
attention was made to abuses done by a handful of idiot soldiers at
Abu Gharayb, while the real torture going on in Iraq gets so scant
attention, proves beyond a doubt how far this issue has been
politicized.

You might think that columnist Andrew Sullivan, who has made torture a
signature issue for him, might have something to say on this. Don't
hold your breath. Only US initiated torture is of any concern to him.

I also can't help wondering about the mindset of the person who made
these illustrations. Certainly he knew what they were for, and he
likely had participated in tortures himself. Does he believe that this
kind of torture, particularly of fellow Muslims, is acceptable in
Islam?

I believe severing hands is a middle east institution. The US army used to
drag Indians behind horses until they died. The School of Americas taught
the South American dictators how to use extension cords to torture their
victims as they worked to quash land reforms in those countries. Look it
up!

Project Phoenix in Vietnam

Vietnam, 67-73 CIA developed Phoenix Program in 67 to neutralize: kill,
capture or make defect VCI. VCI means civilians suspected of supporting
communists. Targeted civilians not soldiers. Phoenix also called Phung Hoang
by VNese. Due process totally nonexistent. SVNese who appeared on black
lists could be tortured, detained for 2 years without trial or killed.
Valentine, D. (1990). The Phoenix Program, 13



School of the Americas:



"The [Salvadoran] death squads did exactly what they were supposed to do:
they decapitated the trade unions and mass organizations that seemed in
danger of setting off an urban insurrection at the beginning of the
decade... [The army] learnt its tricks at American counterinsurgency schools
in Panama and the United States. "We learnt from you," a death squad member
once told an American reporter, "we learnt from you the methods, like
blowtorches in the armpits, shots in the balls." And political prisoners
often insist they were tortured by foreigners, some Argentine, others maybe
American."





a US military training school, the School of the Americas, has trained many
of the worst human rights violators and dictators in various Latin American
countries.

Countries receiving training include Haiti, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru,
Colombia, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. The school is a
military training school originally in Panama, now in Georgia, USA, set up
and run by USA.

At the School of the Americas (SOA), portraits of the most successful
graduates are hung. Some of the worst dictators and human rights abusers in
the developing world have passed through the school's doors, including
people like Roberto D'Aubisson from El Salvador and Manuel Noriega of
Panama.

CIA trained the sha's henchmen which is why they hate us in Iran...not
because we are free. That is a liar's lie!

We trained Saddam and instigated a bloody war against Iran.

Now, we are almost certainly training Pakistan's dictator in the same black
arts that will be used against us in the next generation.

Americans responsible for this are those that only want to talk about the
torture of the other side and never take responsibility for our own actions
of torture.

Torture is a practise for losers. It only yields temporary results....long
term it builds righteous hate and results in a scientifically certain
opposite reaction.

I am against torture of any kind.

Paul Newman is older than Iraq.
In fact wasnt Iraq created by the Brits and French when they carved up
arabia after WWI? The Us were busy expanding colonies in the Pacific and
central and south america at the time and were not really a world power. But
if they were around they no doubt would be in on the deal. Oh yeah thets
when they (the Brits) used WMD (poision gas) on the Kurds as well wasnt it?
Then they (the Brits) set up a puppet regime which they claimed was a
"democracy" and when the leader didnt do as they wanted they removed him and
put in another puppet which Saddam eventually replaced. Ironic isnt it?

No problem at all. In fact, even if I use the Saddam years only
compared to the entire history of the US, the sheer numbers of abuses
in Iraq would be higher. Torture and abuse happen sometimes in US
prisons, and sometimes we find out and prosecute the perpetrator. But
torture in Saddam's prisons was the rule, not the exception, and
nobody was prosecuted for it. I have spoken to plenty of former
inmates of the Saddam years myself.

That is a relativist argument.

Two wrongs do not make a right.
It isnt for the forces of law and order in the free world to behave as
terrorists and dictatorsd would.

the "we were not as bad as them" argument does not hold!
You should not be bad at all and condemn all torture slavery human rights
abuse and law breaking. Lynch law is not law at all.

So you base your "facts" on what you see. let me guess, you

You are over estamating the power of the US.
Saddam was assisted and supported by them but he was clever enough to
combine nationalism with marxism and manipulate the situation to bring about
his rise to power. He also executed exiled or imprisioned his rivals.

But calling the US the root of all evil is going way over the mark. THe Us
are not so nearly as infulencial or powerfull as that for starters. yes they
are probablt the most powerful military in the World but even given that
they cant even control a small country like Iraq. Also while the militarists
have had huge influence on US administrations many Americans have been
fooled by them or chose to remain ignorant of the rest of the world. But
many do now know the hogswatch they have been sold. Most Americans are like
most people anywhere else only they are richer.

THe ruling classed of the Us live a comfortable existance. It is unlikly
that someone with a drug addict brother a father never at home living in a
trailer park will ever get to the Presidencey but Clinton did just that!
Most of the senior politicians are from the billionaire class.

Can't control it precisely because we've chosen to fight a war in a
"civilized" fashion. Ironically, if we chose to be as amoral as we're
being accused of being, we could have carpet bombed the country into
submission by now.

Not sure what your point is here, but that is how capitalist societies
work. And frankly, I'm glad of it. Having worked/lived around folks

You commit three errors here. Yo uassume that it is acceptable for a

As far as acting like terrorists, I've not heard about our troops
deliberately targeting civilians - other than 2 or 3 situations where
the troops are being court marshaled.

Iraq WAS a fundamentalist country kept under strict control by
Saddam. Intimidating the population to keep them under control does
not mean the country was secular. Are you really proposing that all
this fundamentalism just came about in the past couple years?

We carpet bombed the hell out of the country side (i.e. the Ho Chi

Wow, nothing like immediately jumping to the far extreme. Certainly
there are people with disabilities who need a safety net. And for

You better believe they should be rewarded financially according to

You commit another two errors here! first just because you haven't heard it
does not mean it hasen't happend. second targeting civilians is not
necessarily the ONLY thing that terrorists do which makes them terrorists.

In counter evidence it is clear that the US has been engaged in torture and
kidnapping, as well as US personell abusing prisioners. These are the type
of thing that terrorists do!

Those again are the incidents you have "heard" about. But let me ask you, do

bringing them befiore a court and accusing them of something?

It was certainlt NOT aq muslim fundamentalist country! I note your use of
"fundamentalist" seems to have changed. It is clear that we are here
discussing MUSLIM fundamentalists such as Al Khyda. IIndeed that is the
phrase I used. If you want to refer to other countries with a non muslim
fundamentalist problem we can easily look into the issues of christian
fundamentalists in the US. If you wish to change you definition of
"fundamentalist" then please be clear about it. You are in danger oif
watering it down but I am happy to accept any greying of the borders as long
as you accept that as you muddy the waters the US can also be accused of
assisting those who you call "fundamentalist" under this new definition.

Defoliating about a third of the whole country as far as I remember. Bt you

It is called counter argument. When the Germans began on the Jews and
Gypsies it began no doubt with allegations of them being dirty and lazy and
not pulling their weight. It progressed to a plan for wiping out all who
couldent contribute to their ideal of a progressive economy and culture.

I think you are not in touch with reality. It is ludricrous to claim that
Iraqi people are to lazy to show up for work and that they are out partying
all night. this might be more suited to comfortable people in the US but it
certaqinly is a bad example when applied to Iraq. Where are all thses lazy
partying Iraquis?

Those who have out of wedlock children as
teenagers. Yes, some cases are sad. But YOU made your decisions, now

In fact it is quite likely that the rate of unmarried parents in Iraq is
quite low. It is more likely pregnant women are married. Of course many of
the husbands may be killed because of war. So how will that change anything?
How is a woman whose husband is dead somehow better able to contribute to
society and the economy than a woman who had a child outside marriage?

"To each according to what he can give to the State" now is it? And so we

they should not be rewarded as much as others who can work harder! The big
blond blue eyed guy who can contribute more work should be admired and
rewarded and the dirty lazy (we all know who you mean) ones should get
little or nothing?

Quite easily. I should think it is obvious but if you don't understand I
will explain .But try answering the questions first. Can you do that?
It is symptomatic of your simplistic division of "master race" versus "lazy
dirty others" who you make into social outcasts. Yo first of all define a
sympotom which everyone can see. the fact that the definition is
questionable id beside the point. People can see how iot manifests. You then
go on to saying these symptoms should be wiped out or at lease put somewhere
where we cant see them. One must think why you havent addressed what CAUSED
the symptom and why you dont address the cause?

"I wont support you if A" where A is "taking drugs" "being lazy" "having
children outside marriage." It puts you in a position of moral superiority
as if you are the righteous one and these other "undermenchen" are scarsely
deserving of your contempt. All the problems of society are due to these
others. as I stated I think I have seen that before somewhere. It is simple
enough to expose as an oversimplistic analysis.

Eh John you are contradicting yourself are you not? CIA prisions include
the like of Egypt say, but by far the largest "CIA prison" not on US soil,
where "rendition" prisioners are brought is Guantanamo Bay. The people
there are NOT only from Iraq! In fact there were NONE from Iraq and NO
active muslim fundamentalists in Iraq BEFORE the US invasion! Mind you I
have left out Iraqui prisions as they dont "render" people into the same
place they claim to have got them do they. Also, you may claim that Iraqui
prisions are large but if you do and you claim they are full of iraquis and
not full of non Iraqui foreigners then I will ask you (as I have asked Chip
and he hasen't replied) how is it that you claim the "insurgents" are all
foreign Muslim fundamentalists (remember under Sadam ther were NONE of
these, they came in from abroad after the US invaded and removed the Iraqui
army) then how could all the prisioners be local Iraquis?

But in spite of the nonsensical "only comparing US in Iraq today with the
whole history of Persia" comment you simply just CAN'T single out such
places even if it was true. Suppoee the US occupied Guam tomorrow (oh sorry
ther are there already arent they?) and tortured nobody and the people of
guam had a history of torture (actually maybe New Zeland might be a better
example). Okat the US occupy New Zeland. Now the Mauri are only "new" in New
Zeeland having only arrived there about 500 years ago. Being cannibals, they
ate the people that were before them. assuming the US troops do not eat the
local people that still does not excuse the torture of others elsewhere does
it? so why compare some subset and try to apply any non fitting particular
case to the general argument?
One cant go from the particular and claim it is general can one? One might
see a white swan and claim on that basis all swans are white couldnt one?

I am only talking about Iraq. If you are going to bring up every type
of torture used in US history, it would only be fair for me to compare
with tortures throughout Iraqi history. I guarantee you, theirs would
be far worse both in numbers and intensity.
Eh John you are contradicting yourself are you not? CIA prisions include
the like of Egypt say, but by far the largest "CIA prison" not on US soil,
where "rendition" prisioners are brought is Guantanamo Bay. The people
there are NOT only from Iraq! <snip>
You are missing the point here. What we did to Native Americans back
in the 1800s does not have a whole lot of bearing on what we are doing
in Iraq today. If it does, then I can start by listing every past
crime of torture and abuse of every enemy of the US in Iraq, and we
will be going at it all day. The main point is the the US media,
indeed the world media, went into a feeding frenzy over the tortures
at Abu Gharayb, yet those tortures were extremely mild compared to the
ones carried out by insurgents on a daily basis. I have seen these
with my own eyes. I have seen dead Iraqis dumped by the side of the
road with drill holes in their bodies. How do you think those holes
got there? I have seen bodies with all their toes cut off. How do you
think that happened? I guarantee you they weren't cut off after the
guy was killed. And these tortures were only done by the Mahdi militia
- believe it or not, Al-Qaeda is even worse!

Where is the Muslim world's condemnation and outrage?

Why not?
It was wrong to massacre people at Wounded Knee or Mai Lai. Just as it is
wrong to torture degrade of massacre civilians in Iraq today. As for the
latter of these I don't know but falluja might be a candidate.

Which is the whole point of the justice system. To go into (not necessarily
to punish) every instance of abuse.

So what? It isn't for forces of so called "civilised" countries to behave as
terrorists do. the IRA set of bombs all over Britian and Ireland and Europe.
But that does not justify the British security forces assaassinating people
in Gibralta or in planning the Dublin/Monaghan bombings does it? Indeed
Bloody Sunday (both the ont in Dublin in the 1920s and the one in Derry) are
also good examples since they depicy troops openly killing civilians having
suffered troop losses of their own at the hands of the IRA.

Indeed any such behaviour plays into the hands of guerilla forces.

Eh drills maybe? While this is all very horrible wehat has it got to do with
the point?
To be callous so what? So what if there are evil Iraqui murderers (and most
of these are probably perpretrated by Iraquis and not by imported
fundamentalists)?
That does not justify US troops behaving in the same manner!

You remind me of Col. Walter Kurtz. based on Hemmingwasy Heart of Darkness
but set in Cambodia.
He tell a story of US troops in Viet Nam coming into a village and
inoculating all the children. Next day they returned to witness a pile of
arms. the Viet Cong had cut off every inoculated arm. This is what
fundamentalists do. It isn't justified but you must see the reason for it.
The reason struck Kurtz like a "diamond bullet" straight to the forehead.
Brando plays it well "The Horror! The Horror!"

We neednt go into that unless you want to but the point still stands. That
does not justify US troops behaving in the same manner!

But please don't tell me of the US interest in drills. Clearly the
administration is far more interested in oil drills.

You really are getting into hot water on this one.
There is widespread condemnation in the Muslim world on this type of thing.
You must be reading censored or biased sources. Try reading the following
and see if you then think muslims don't condemn violence. You seem to have
an open mind. Well then go and look and see for yourself and come back if
you still think the same way and tell us why.

thank you.

Well, we already have tons of terrorists and terrorist sympathizers right
here in country, so there can be little doubt that the miscreants
subscribing to almighty islam have copies of the same manuals, or have
worked-up their own.

Where are these terrorists? I remember one Greg Copley, President of the
International Strategic Studies
Association, mentioning, "Islamberg in New York, Ahmedabad in Virginia, and
Holy Islamville in South Carolina," for starters. These communities of the
faithful, in actuality islamic fortresses complete with gate guards and
sentries, are not open to the public and consist of legal and illegal
muslims from Pakistan, and men who are said to have converted, prosthelitzed
to Islam while in US prisons.

There are many other places in the USA where Jamaat ul-Fuqra, just one of
several fundamentalist jihadist movements already active here in the USA
holds "educational" seminars for willing participants.

One of these days, the Religion of Peace will eventually show it's real
face - they just haven't been called on to perform, yet.

Compared to islamic militancy, Christian whack-jobs are microcosm when it
comes to numbers.
Jonestown and Jim Jones - 900+ deaths
David Korish and Branch Davidians - 90
solar Temple was 74 deaths but that was mainly ingroups Originally from
switzerland and Canada ( although last time I looked they were part of the
"free world")
Heaven's Gate - 40
Church of the Lamb of God - 24+
Yahweh Ben Yahweh & The Temple of Love - 14
Charles manson and the family - 9+
The Ripper Crew -18
Jeffrey Lundgren -5
Chevie Kehoe and Danny Lee -3
Kentucky Occult teen killers -3
West memphis three -3
Wyoming Valley Satinists -2
San Luis Obispo Satinist -1
Nathan Brooks -2
Lords of Chaos -1
Denver Concerned Christians - 50 dissappearances
God's Salvation - 140?
Raelians -1?

Thats close to 1250. These are the KNOWN cases!




THE ABOVE list IS exclusive to the US with the exception of the solar temple
and the fact that Jim Jones took his group with him when he left the Us but
they were all to my knowledge US citizens. What is not exclusive to the US
is fundamentalism. But fundamentalism does pose a threat to the US.
Christian fundamentalism in particular has other non lethal effects such as
for example affecting educational standards by insisting biblical
creationism have as much time as Evolution on the curriculum. Only recently
Bush commented on his support for "intelligent design" a modern phrase for
creationism.

And what about the thousands of missing children whose pictures festoon milk
cartons in the US?

There is a comparison. I just made it! In fact there has been TWO Muslim
funded related attacks (on different days) in the US. One with no deaths
one with 3000 dead.

Owning a gun is not a crime. Planning mass murders and killing innocents in
the name of jihad is.

Actually, no. The Branch Davidians were a cult claiming to be Christians.
However, Koresh's actions were contrary to Christian beliefs. Anyone can
say they are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or whatever, but that doesn't
necessarily mean anything. You could say you were the daughter of your
brother and sister....but that would probably be true.

"What about..." isn't answering the question. furthermore it isnt shown that
I am willfully ignorant nor that I make claims about such things. But in
spite of not showint this the question isn't about ME it is about you. Why
make claims about something of which you admit you are willfully ignorant if
sa you claim you "don't care"?

WACO springs to mind. The Branch Dividians were a Christian
offshoot not a Muslim group.
Actually, no. The Branch Davidians were a cult claiming to be Christians.
Two can play at that game! Al Queda are a cult claiming to be Muslim.
You are wrong again. al Quaeda is a militant group of muslims that
are also murderers, committing such murders in the name of Allah
and jihad, which Islam condones.
Islam doesn't condone it! and by the same token there are militant
Christian grups!
I can supply you with quotes form hundreds of Islamic clerics and
others who have not condoned it!
I am waiting.

However, Koresh's actions were contrary to Christian beliefs.
Al queda's actions are contrary to Islam.
Read the Quran sometime.
Oh you are an expert on the Koran now are you?
Read the Bible sometime!
Ill bet I can get at least two (probably twenty two) quotes form the
Bible to match any you cull from the Koran.
Ok, show me where the Bible encourages a jihad.
Show me the Koran quote first and Ill show you two of similar schpeel
from the Bible.

Anyone can
say they are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or whatever, but that
doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Exactly! Just as Al queda claim to be muslim!

You could say you were the daughter of your
brother and sister....but that would probably be true.
Again you know nothing about me. It couldn't be true if I was male
sionce I couldn't be the daughter of anyone!
Nor do I care to know anything about you.
Then why make claims about something of which you admit you are
willfully ignorant ?
I only imitate you.
"What about..." isn't answering the question. furthermore it isnt
shown that I am willfully ignorant nor that I make claims about such
things. But in spite of not showint this the question isn't about ME
it is about you. Why make claims about something of which you admit
you are willfully ignorant if sa you claim you "don't care"?

You only show you are wilfull ignorant! You havent read all of them but you
want to believe you are right so you remain ignorant of them. But In fact I
have proven my point . Your "one true scotsman" fallasy wont detract from
tyhat. You can call US army veterans "petty nobodies" if you want but it
does not detract fronm the fact that I posted several pages of references
about muslims opposing the likes of Al Khyda and your only rebuttal is
"these references are not important! what is important is what I believe! MY
opinion!"


So anyone reading this on one hand has your unsupported bigoted and
willfully ignorant opinion and on the other side my reference to scholars
and researched facts and statements which show up contradictions and logical
flaws in your argument.

Who do you think openminded people are more likely to believe?

There are many other places in the USA where Jamaat ul-Fuqra, just
one of several fundamentalist jihadist movements already active
here in the USA holds "educational" seminars for willing
participants.
One of these days, the Religion of Peace will eventually show it's
real face - they just haven't been called on to perform, yet.
Just as there were Gun loving "Christians" in NRA Bushland.
Owning a gun is not a crime. Planning mass murders and killing innocents in
the name of jihad is.
