Iraqis claim tortured by U.S. forces 7/23/03 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqis detained by U.S. troops have complained of torture and degrading treatment, Amnesty International says. There were also reports of troops shooting detainees, the London-based human rights watchdog said in a report based on interviews with former prisoners of the Americans across Iraq. Amnesty staff heard complaints that included prolonged sleep deprivation and detainees being forced to stay in painful positions or wear
hoods over their heads for long periods. "Such treatment would amount to 'torture and inhumane treatment' prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention and by international human rights law," Amnesty said.

""They Treat Us Like Cattle"" By Marc Semo La Liberation Wednesday 30 July 2003
Polite, but firm, the GIs laid them out on the hood. They searched the vehicle. Like many Iraqis, he had a revolver for self-defense in the glove compartment. The soldiers
immediately bound their hands. "They made us get into an armored troop carrier and started to beat us up," relates the young engineer, who, after a night in a holding center piled up in a barred cage with 350 other suspects, finally arrived at "Camp Cropper", the airport prison of canvas tents surrounded by barbed wire and smashed in the sun where he spent sixteen days.
. "Under a simple canvas, we were almost 200 and we weren't allowed to leave the barbed wire enclosure that surrounded each tent. There were a dozen enclosures and we couldn't communicate from one to the other, except from a distance, with signals," recounts the engineer. In a neighboring tent, he saw certain "VIP"s- former regime dignitaries on the list of wanted people, including the former Parliamenty President, Saadoun Hammadi �, who "got the same treatment as everyone". "We slept on the same ground, on newspaper or, for the really lucky, hemp bags. The food was meager; army rations once a day and water even more miserly, barely three liters a day in spite of the scorching heat. Delivered in metal containers, it was always hot. The latrines were just holes dug inside the enclosures which gave off a pestilential smell", testifies Nudir, for whom the hardest thing was to go without cigarettes. Smoking was, in fact, strictly forbidden.

ZNet | Africa What's Behind Liberia's Crisis How Washington Set The Stage For War by Lee Sustar; Socialist Worker; July 13, 2003 THE RHETORIC is about AIDS and poverty, but the agenda is oil and empire. George W. Bush's mid-July tour of Africa highlighted the ways in which the U.S. is consolidating its economic and strategic role across the continent--from preparing a possible deployment of American troops amid Liberia's civil war, to praising pro-market "neoliberal" policies in Uganda, Senegal and South Africa....the U.S. has been content to pressure Taylor by working with the government of Guinea--which got $3 million in U.S. military aid last year--to support the main anti-Taylor rebel group, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD). While Taylor has been indicted for war crimes by a United Nations tribunal, the LURD is little different. "There is not one person who wields real power within the LURD who has clean hands or comes close," a European diplomat told the Washington Post. "The upper tiers are filled with the perpetrators of rape, looting and cannibalism." According to Human Rights Watch, LURD forces have been involved in kidnapping, summary executions, looting, rape and forced recruitment--and like Taylor and the RUF, use young boys as combatants....If the U.S. does move to intervene militarily, it's because Liberia sits near substantial oil reserves in the Gulf of Guinea. U.S. oil companies--including Exxon-Mobil and Chevron-Texaco--are expected to invest more than $10 billion in African oil this year.
