Guantanamo Thong Song
27 January 2005The Bush administration recommends sexual abstinence for singles -- unless, of course, you're a Guantanamo prisoner. In that case, official policy involves thongs, body fluids, and blue balls. Paisley Dodds of AP has acquired a draft of a classified document on interrogation techniques at Guantanamo, which apparently include female questioners doing their best to get religious prisoners hot and bothered. One interrogator, for instance, frustated by a prisoner's decision to pray instead of answer questions, took off her shirt, massaged her breasts, and began "rubbing them against the prisoner's back and commenting on his apparent erection." When that didn't work, "the interrogator left the room to ask a Muslim linguist how she could break the prisoner's reliance on God. The linguist told her to tell the detainee that she was menstruating, touch him, then make sure to turn off the water in his cell so he couldn't wash" -- the theory being that then he couldn't pray and would have to answer questions. The interrogator went one better, rubbing red ink on her crotch, reaching into her underwear to retrieve it, and smearing it over the prisoner's face. "'Have a fun night in your cell without any water to clean yourself,'" the author of the manuscript reports the interrogator as saying before she left for the evening. No report on the technique's effectiveness, although AP notes that it was allegedly tried several times. "[M]uch of the world will think this is a religious war based on some of the techniques used, even though it is not the case," says the author of the manuscript, former Army Sgt. Erik R. Saar. Right -- it's just about breaking the enemy's reliance on God.
