Torture of prisoners is routine in Mideast
Reader comment on item: Female Desire and Islamic Trauma
in response to reader comment: "Extreme Reactions to Abu Ghairab Torture?"
Submitted by James (United States), May 24, 2011 at 14:27
Those responsible for Abu Ghairab were court-martialed, and imprisoned. Far worse abuse of prisoners, and human rights in general, is routine in the Mideast. and unpunished.
