Maybe Rummy should resign, he surely hushed up the whole affair for a long time. I cant wait to find out the rest of the material to come out. Ive heard some terrible rumours.

IMO from what I've read, the abuse that went on was as torturous as a college hazing. I wouldn't exactly refer to the humilation that went on as "torture". I think in only one instance a prisoner was injured when they were teasing him w/ the dogs.
Doesn't justify it or anything, but it's not like they were sitting there jabbing soldering irons into their eyes or throwing them into a meat grinder.
[edit]
I honestly haven't heard much about it other than they made the prisoners climb on top of each other naked, and stand in line while other soldiers took pictures, etc.. stuff like that. If there were any actual TORTURE events, I haven't heard of 'em.
