There is no credibility at all to this considering the source, but if they are going to keep making up stories, they shold at least be believable. As "sexual abuse" this is absolutely laughable: "three female interrogators came to Kurnaz in his cell only wearing underwear while he was restrained. One of them.put her arms around him from behind and put her hand inside his shirt."
As cultural behavior this is so far out that it is clearly only Kurnaz's wet dream. -Bruce http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=7192 Sexual abuses by female interrogators at Guantanamo 3/10/2005 9:15:00 AM GMT The attorneys of a German-born Turkish man held at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay said that U.S. guards there forced the man's head under water, and used electric shocks as well as other methods of torture. They added that Murat Kurnaz, 22, was also sexually humiliated by female interrogators. The Pentagon did not comment immediately on the recently revealed abuses. Kurnaz's lawyers, moreover, said that recently obtained declassified U.S. intelligence documents show that their client is innocent and that they reveal that he has been held even though the United States knows he has no connection to Al Qaeda network. Baher Azmy met with Kurnaz for 30 hours over the past few months. He is urging the German government to seek Kurnaz's release. Kurnaz was captured in Pakistan after traveling there in October 2001. Torture and abuses at Guantanamo detailed by Kurnaz matched other detainees' complaints, Azmy said. "They dunked his head in a bucket of water to simulate drowning," Azmy said during a press conference. "They gave him electric shocks through his feet. Once an officer pointed a rifle at his head to force him to confess to being an associate of Mohamed Atta," one of those suspected of carrying out the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. In other incidents, Azmy and Germany attorney Bernhard Docke said, three female interrogators came to Kurnaz in his cell only wearing underwear while he was restrained. One of them, the lawyers said, put her arms around him from behind and put her hand inside his shirt. One of the interrogators asked Kurnaz if he would like to "have fun," the lawyers said, adding that when the detainee threw his head back at her, knocking her down, a riot-helmeted security team came in and put him to solitary confinement. Kurnaz's lawyers also said that he was kept without food for six days. Azmy cited U.S. documents showing that German authorities did not believe Kurnaz had links to Al Qaeda network. The documents show interrogators have "no definite link or evidence of a connection to al-Qaida, the Taliban or a specific threat," he said said. "The Germans have confirmed that the detainee had no connection to an Al Qaeda cell in Germany," Azmy said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
