If you want to read about how the Iraqis treated our POWS in the GW, there are a couple of books out by members of the British Bravo Two Zero patrol that was captured and tortured. Pretty grisly stuff.

Search for "The One That Got Away" by Chris Ryan and "Brave Two Zero" by Andy McNabb I am not sure about Chris Ryan, but McNabb is in it for the publicity. I have read some reports from the guys who were with him and they said the book has little to do with what really happened. If you want to read about how Iraqi treats it's people, read _Republic_of_Fear_ by Kanan Makiya.
Like Dick Marcinko, McNabb is a good story teller but don't read his book looking for facts.

This morning one of the networks (yes, I am MISS NO-CABLE)
interviewed a female colonel who was a POW in gulf war.
She mentioned that Sexual abuse is NOT limited to just women & that it is just another form of abuse & must be thought of in that manner.
She gave a strong testimony..said she communicated with fellow POWS by singing.. they did not permit talking but let her sing..
