Prisoner Abuse, Part 2

McClatchy has another article about prisoner abuse, this time at Bagram in Afghanistan. Tom Lasseter, the author, implies that the lead investigator at Bagram went on to use the same techniques at Abu Ghraib. Interestingly, the period of abuse Bagram coincided with the term of the lead investigator, Capt. Carolyn Wood. The abuse seems to have left when she did.

The violence at Bagram may have been worse than at Guantanamo. Lasseter interviewed 41 people who had been detained at Bagram. While 28 were beaten there, only eight of these detainees were beaten at Guantanamo. Two Afghans were beaten to death by guards in December 2002. Yet not one of the higher-ups has had to own up.
