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 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 said he witnessed about 20 interrogations and about three months after his arrival at the remote U.S. base he started noticing "disturbing" practices.
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.
Beginning in April 2003, "there hung a short skirt and thong underwear on the hook on the back of the door" of one interrogation team's office, he writes. "Later I learned that this outfit was used for interrogations by one of the female civilian contractors ... on a team which conducted interrogations in the middle of the night on Saudi men who were refusing to talk."

AAAARRRRGH!

*smacking forehead*
worSe
You know you like... :D
yeah...from the neck down.
from the neck up, even triple-bagging wouldn't be enough
LOL! The girl in the origional picture is HOT! :D
Please. If we had anything close to Omerta within our intel and military services this story wouldn't even be known. I thinks it is a good and effective tactic. If they were normal men rather than insance barbarians, such a tactic wouldn't even work. The lack of discipline and secrecy in our Nat'l Security apparatus is the real threat.
To your #28 about these guys being pure and holy
Miss Piggy was unavailable.
Sharon Stone.
ahem... rules
Oh, absolutely! Sorta like being beheaded with a dull knife??????????
Please, Brer Fox, you can do anything to me. But DON'T throw me in that briar patch!
Very funny and getting funnier and sexier each time you post it...not.
Damn! that's a two-sacker for sure. Or maybe two six-packs and a quart of Wild Turkey.
Get over here and see the latest photo of your sweetie! LOL
I think we can do better. By which image do we want to win the war, by the image of the God fearing defenders of the Western Tradition, or, by the oversexed, gang banga, lowest common denominator, already existing, most negative (and largely unjustified and inaccurate) possible stereotype of what the US is? Most people in other countries already think that we are like our TV programs, as in Hollywierd filth. Personally, I don't want to be known by such an image. I'll argue it no further, either you get it or you don't.
....Beginning in April 2003, "there hung a short skirt and thong underwear on the hook on the back of the door" of one interrogation team's office......
This seems a bit odd to me. Even in the close company of the military it seems odd that a woman would KEEP her thong underwear on a hook on the OFFICE DOOR.
"Oh Marge- don't forget your thong for the 4:00 meeting."
It's an effective use of 'Psy-Ops' to use what some consider extreme in our culture to get potentially life-saving info from the terrorists. I'll take preservation of our 'cesspool' society over their Bhurkas-and-beatings one any day.
This story reeeks....would like to more about this former Army Sgt. Erik R. Saar.
Oh please, they didn't even put the panties on their heads. This barely qualifies as causing discomfort, much less torture! :P
