LA Times digging back to 2003...

...deprived of sleep for days at a time??! Oh, the horror, the horror ....

[Dr. Scarpetta]

The Times has since reviewed thousands of pages of internal military records showing that prisoner abuse by Special Forces units was more common in Afghanistan than previously acknowledged.

Too bad the Times doesn't care as much about those barbarians beheading or blowing up people.

Oh, let's see - beaten, kicked, immersed in icy water, deprived of sleep for days at a time. Sounds like what I'd like to do to Taliban Johnny Walker Lind just for starters. Too bad those guys didn't get hold of him while they were there.

And of course, "detainees" would NEVER, EVER lie!!!
But of course, the word of a Taliban is worth so much more then the word of an American soldier.

"Detainees there alleged they were beaten, kicked, immersed in icy water and deprived of sleep for days at a time."

My computer crashed big time and couldn't get on Free Republic. I was emotionally beaten and couldn't sleep for days. I kicked myself unmercilessly for trying to fix it myself and ruined it completely. Had to get another computer. Ice water? Naw. I stayed away from water and didn't bathe for days and let my beard grow for a couple of weeks. I survived and here I am, even though I didn't eat enough to keep a bird alive during the period. My only complaint is that my girlfriend wouldn't put her panties on my head because I was so grumpy and had B.O.

Now, what was the detainees complaining about?

Liberals are traitors.

...immersed in icy water and deprived of sleep for days at a time.

Sounds like SEAL training to me!
