AP: Gitmo Soldier Details Sexual Tactics

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Female interrogators tried to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay by sexual touching, wearing a miniskirt and thong underwear and in one case smearing a Saudi man's face with fake menstrual blood, according to an insider's written account.

A draft manuscript obtained by The Associated Press is classified as secret pending a Pentagon (news - web sites) review for a planned book that details ways the U.S. military used women as part of tougher physical and psychological interrogation tactics to get terror suspects to talk.

It's the most revealing account so far of interrogations at the secretive detention camp, where officials say they have halted some controversial techniques.

"I have really struggled with this because the detainees, their families and much of the world will think this is a religious war based on some of the techniques used, even though it is not the case," the author, former Army Sgt. Erik R. Saar, 29, told AP.

Saar didn't provide the manuscript or approach AP, but confirmed the authenticity of nine draft pages AP obtained. He requested his hometown remain private so he wouldn't be harassed.

Saar, who is neither Muslim nor of Arab descent, worked as an Arabic translator at the U.S. camp in eastern Cuba from December 2002 to June 2003. At the time, it was under the command of Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, who had a mandate to get better intelligence from prisoners, including alleged al-Qaida members caught in Afghanistan.

[...]

One female civilian contractor used a special outfit that included a miniskirt, thong underwear and a bra during late-night interrogations with prisoners, mostly Muslim men who consider it taboo to have close contact with women who aren't their wives.

Oh the horror of being interrogated by a "civilian contractor" in a mini-skirt.

I didn't realize that there was a demand for the manufacture of such a product.

And that's because we all know the 9/11 hijackers never went to a strip bar.

I know people who would pay for that kind of treatment...

Infidel women do not count. Rich oil muslim sheiks come to the "west" for whoring all the time. Having sex with infidel women doesn't count as cheating...

I guess sodium pentathol is a safer bet.

I only hope that someday if I'm captured by savages, they will use thongs and miniskirts to try and break me ;)

Since when did a lap dance become illegal anyway?

OK, so the fake menstrual blood is kinda gross, but better than Saddam's use of the detainee's OWN blood!

They could have said it was pig's blood, and considering that they believe women are lower than goats, maybe fake menstrual blood wasn't so bad.

So do I, but "If this is torture, chain me to the wall."

I guess they forgot to tell Atta this. He went to a strip bar for boobs and hooch before he hijacked a plane and crashed it into the World Trade Center in NYC.

My cousin who is a looney leftist artist whack job gave my granparents a picture painted with her own menstrual blood. Apparently, it was to symbolize the oppressive patriarchal society that she was born into. The giving of the painting and the hanging it on the wall was part of the art too. I never told them but I also stopped exchanging Christmas gifts with her immediately.

Bet you'd detest that female in a mini-skirt with a thong torture.

Unless, of course, it was the dongle babe.
