A Privatisation Too Far: Mercenaries and Torture in Iraq. "If we can't hold ourselves up as an example of how to treat people with dignity and respect, we can't ask that other nations do that to our soldiers", says Brigadier General Mark Kimmett, deputy director of operations for the US military in Iraq of damning evidence of the use of torture in a US-run Iraqi prison. This sort of action is unacceptable on a human rights level, puts US forces at risk of revenge attacks and could jeopardise the strength of the coalition. It is important that we understand how such appalling human rights abuses have been allowed to take place. [kuro5hin.org]
