Uh - it's possible that THIS person's story is one of simply being searched. Wouldn't a strip search be sorta mandatory?

The weakness of this man's story doesn't lessen the severity of the charges leveled in the New Yorker story or the pictures released by CBS. These pictures do not appear to be strip searches, but prison guards getting their jollies at the expense of those in their custody. If reality mathces appearances, it's wrong, wrong, wrong. Professional soldiers do not behave this way.

No, it doesn't, but it does make one wonder how factual the reports of a "pattern of torture" are. Especially coming from Amnesty International, and former detainees such as the one quoted in this story.

Notice the title calls what was probably a routine strip search "abuse".

It sounded like just a strip search to me also.
