Whistleblower reveals ‘systematic’ humiliation of detainees

Videos suggest detainees were routinely subjected to emotional assaults

A former US soldier in Iraq has come forward with video of his fellow soldiers subjecting Iraqi detainees to what he describes as “mental, emotional, degrading” abuse.

US Army Specialist Ethan McCord was a member of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry, the same unit that was involved in a 2007 helicopter attack in Baghdad shown in a leaked video released last April by WikiLeaks.

“I started to ‘acquire’ these videos and some pictures once I realized that what we are doing in Iraq is wrong,” McCord wrote on Wednesday in a blog entry at MichaelMoore.com. “These videos are of detainee abuse. Not the type of abuse that’s physical, but the mental, emotional, degrading type.”

In the three brief clips, soldiers are shown harassing a handcuffed and blindfolded detainee in a variety of ways. In one, a soldier repeatedly orders a detainee to hold his hands up and then put them down again — a sequence which McCord says went on for 45 minutes.

Another shows a soldier asking a terrified detainee, “Are you militia” and telling him he is “going to go to prison for that,” until being ordered to “stop talking to the detainees.” In the third, a soldier sings loudly and mockingly into the ear of a man who was detained for having an AK-47 in his home.

The use of deliberate humiliation as a means of softening up detainees prior to questioning became particularly notorious in connection with the Abu Ghraib scandal and was examined in detail in Errol Morris’s critically-acclaimed 2008 documentary Standard Operating Procedure.

“The MPs speak frankly, if not always lucidly, about conditions at the prison and the vague orders from higher-ups that allowed them to believe what they were doing was somehow OK,” Slate’s Dana Stevens wrote of the film. “They saw themselves as ‘softening up’ detainees for the real questioning that would take place later behind closed doors.”

“My two cents worth of opinion,” Morris told an interviewer, “is that this is not just a war of humiliation but a war of sexual humiliation at its core, and the entire foreign policy. I wouldn’t even think it’s fair to say that America has a foreign policy in the years since 9/11, but if it has had a foreign policy, the foreign policy is, show them whose [sic] boss, humiliate them like they have humiliated us.”

Although the harassment shown in McCord’s clips does not rise to the same level of sexual abuse as was present at Abu Ghraib, it appears to be similarly designed to “show them who’s boss” and break down the detainees’ will to resist.

“I’ve held on to these for three years now, debating on how to release them responsibly,” McCord writes. “I want to point out, first hand, that these soldiers are doing EXACTLY as they have been trained. I’m not trying to excuse their behavior, but simply pointing out that this is a systematic problem. While your anger may initially be placed with the soldiers in the videos, I think your anger should be directed towards the system that trained them.”

This is not the first time that McCord has spoken out since the release last April of the WikiLeaks “Collateral Murder” video. As summarized by Dan Froomkin at Huffington Post, that video shows “a U.S. Army Apache helicopter in Baghdad in 2007 repeatedly opening fire on a group of men that included a Reuters photographer and his driver — and then on a van that stopped to rescue one of the wounded men. None of the members of the group were taking hostile action, contrary to the Pentagon’s initial cover story.”

According to Wired, on the day of the attack, McCord’s platoon was battling insurgents when they “got orders to investigate a nearby street. When they arrived, they found a scene of fresh carnage — the scattered remains of a group of men, believed to be armed, who had just been gunned down by Apache attack helicopters. They also found 10-year-old Sajad Mutashar and his five-year-old sister Doaha covered in blood in a van. Their 43-year-old father, Saleh, had been driving them to a class when he spotted one of the wounded men moving in the street and drove over to help him, only to become a victim of the Apache guns. McCord was captured in a video shot from one helicopter as he ran frantically to a military vehicle with Sajad in his arms seeking medical care.”

“I was pretty distraught over the whole situation with the children,” McCord told Wired. “So I went to a sergeant and asked to see [the mental health person], because I was having a hard time dealing with it. I was called a pussy and that I needed to suck it up and a lot of other horrible things. I was also told that there would be repercussions if I was to go to mental health. … I was told that I needed to get the sand out of my vagina…. So I just sucked it up and tried to move on with everything.”

“I’ve lived with seeing the children that way since the incident happened,” McCord continued. “I’ve had nightmares. I was diagnosed with chronic, severe PTSD. [But] I was actually starting to get kind of better. … I wasn’t thinking about it as much. [Then I] took my children to school one day and I came home and sat down on the couch and turned on the TV with my coffee, and on the news I’m running across the screen with a child. The flood of emotions came back.”

Immediately after the release of the WikiLeaks video, McCord and another former soldier issued “An Open Letter of Reconciliation & Responsibility to the Iraqi People” which stated, “We write to you, your family, and your community with awareness that our words and actions can never restore your losses. … What we seek is to learn from our mistakes and do everything we can to tell others of our experiences and how the people of the United States need to realize we have done and are doing to you and the people of your country. We humbly ask you what we can do to begin to repair the damage we caused.”

Last July, McCord spoke about the video to attendees at a United Nations Peace Conference. “If this video disgusts you, it should,” he told the audience. “It happens daily in Iraq. … The rules of engagement in 2007 when this happened was, ‘If you feel threatened by anybody, you’re able to engage that person.’ Many soldiers felt threatened just by the fact that you were looking at them, so they fired their weapons at anybody who was looking at them, because ‘I felt threatened.’”

“We were told that if we were to fire our weapons at people and we were to be investigated, officers would take care of you,” McCord continued. “We were given orders for 360 degree rotational fire whenever we were hit with an IED. We were told by our battalion commander to kill every motherfucker on the street. … If you didn’t fire, the NCOs in your platoon would make your life hell.”

These videos were uploaded to YouTube Oct. 12, 2010.

    The depths of American soldiers’ dishonour knows no limits and neither does that of their families nor the general American public at large. I doubt if more than a handful of American people have the intelligence to ever think about how they would feel to be treated like this by invading foreigners. If one grain of sand worth off a beachfull of atrocities was committed against one single American (unless of course he was a non-Zionist or muslim such as the Turkish-origin Gaza Freedom Flotilla US citizen assassinated in cold blood and totally ignored by the US Goverment) America would pursue that nation into oblivion. The America of today is worse than Atilla-the-Hun and any other of the worst-of-the-worst in human history.

    Mossad and CIA FINANCED the “controlled tortures” of psychologist Zimbardo in 1971 in order to find out which EXACTLY methods of psychological torture can DESTROY the psychic of a normal human.

    Below are the links to Zimbardo’s controlled tortures (Zimbardo himself later admitted that those tortures were absolutely unethical, unconscionable and inhumane). [1], [2], [3]

    Just to explain to everybody, Zimbardo told his “guards”: “You can create in the prisoners…a sense of fear to some degree, you can create a notion of arbitrariness that their life is TOTALLY controlled by us [Zimbardo was the supervisor of guards and a participant in his controlled tortures]….They [prisoners] will have no freedom of action, they can do nothing, say nothing that we don’t permit…We are going to take away their individuality in various ways.” [4]

    And I need to remind everybody again and again (apparently, the memories of Americans are quite dysfunctional) that CIA used Nazis as consultants and that CIA’s former director’s George Bush, Sr.’s daddy, Prescott Bush, was the President of US Bankcorp of New York, the bank that Rothschilds used to FINANCE Nazis and the Holocaust and to launder money for Nazis that escaped into South America after it was clear that Nazis would be defeated WWII. [5], [6], [7].

    The historical fact that Zionists FINANCED Nazis and the Holocaust is just ANOTHER evidence that PSYCHOPATHS will kill ANYBODY to achieve their goals.

    After Zionists bought Palestine by selling Germany to UK in WWI [8], their goal was to FORCE as many European Jews to emigrate into Palestine as possible, so that psychopaths Rothschilds & Co. could establish the New Zionist World Order with its capital in Jerusalem.

    European Jews DID NOT want to live their homes in Europe, so psychopaths Rothschilds & Co. FINANCED and, thus, CREATED, the persecution of Jews in Europe and the Holocaust.

    These prisoners are already scared as Hell. Taunting them will make them think about what’s really happening and realize their captors are immoral asses and do not even deserve to be feared. By the time they are taken to be interrogated, they are probably the opposite of being “softened up.”

    When (if) these prisoners go home, they will likely tell everyone how Americans are dishonorable. Thanks to our “brave” soldiers who are just “blowing off steam.” We are not the USA that won WWII. We are now the USA that grew up playing video games and trying to live the fiction of action movies by joining the military.

    That’s an opinion by someone who sits on their lazy ass at home feeling safe because of the courageous men and women fighting in Iraq and Afganistan. get your lazy ass from in front of the TV/Computer, go over there and fight with the insurgents in Iraq or the Taliban in Afganistan. They would greet you with open arms. You are the type of person who would eagerly cooperate with the enemy to save your own ass. `These people our troops are dealing with are cold blooded murderers who are out to destroy us in the name of a ” religion”.

    You’re kidding, right? Mass murderers killed a whole buncha people in London, so we should abuse Iraqis? This video is from Iraq. These men hadn’t just captured the mastermind of some massive terrorist plot. These are just Iraqi civilians stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. A huge percentage of the tens of thousands of Iraqis we indefinitely imprisoned were just random bystanders who dared to posses a weapon in their own home, or who were simply the nextdoor neighbor of our actual target.

    But really! Think of the women! Then kidnap their husbands and murder their children (don’t forget to dig the bullets out of their bodies first, though!)

    And you’re the kind of sociopath who looks at an entire country (Iraq, Afghanistan, they’re all the same) and says we should murder every single human being there, if they dare to resist foreign occupation. Forget the fact that we’ve likely imprisoned an innocent family member of theirs for a few years because… um… they dared to live next door to a suspected criminal.

    I have to assume, based on your claim that everyone we ever blindfold is an enemy, that you’ll be totally cool when the Chinese are done raping your wife and murdering your children for your crime of joining the insurgency whenever they decide to invade us for failing to make debt repayments.

  • http://twitter.com/NotAffiliated Not Affiliated

    It’s a known fact that we’ve brutally tortured thousands of innocent human beings. It’s also known that we’ve kidnapped and encaged tens of thousands of innocent human beings for years on end for literally *no* reason whatsoever.

    Sooo… if an Iraqi presents a direct threat to you, because they dared to stare for a second too long, its probably best to kill them and kidnap the rest of their family, just in case.

    I’m sure that’ll get the best response, right? Just like it would if such conditions were imposed on us… right?

    Stupid Muslims and their strange hatred for foreign occupation. We Americans love when foreign nations occupy our soil and torture innocent civilians!

  • http://twitter.com/NotAffiliated Not Affiliated

    Very well said. This shit is completely ineffective. The empty-headed “tough-guy” stance simply means more people will hate us, and more people will want to kill us. Hard to imagine, given Americans’ love for being occupied by violent foreigner, but that’s just how those furriners think, I guess.

    Ditto for Christianity, yes?

    “Pretty soon”. Sadr already has a huge influence on the Iraqi government – though his associations with Iran appear to be inconsistent.

    Not to mention: pretty soon? You really think it’ll take another few years before Iraqis realize we’ve spent the past few years kidnapping and murdering their family members for no apparent reason? Oh gosh! Where have I been?! What just happened to my whole family?! And what am I doing chained to the ceiling of Saddam Hussein’s old prison?

    If after someone told you over and over, and the government said that no civilians in this country are to have any guns in their homes or else they will be taken to jail and possibly go to prison. Would YOU keep an AK-47 fully automatic assault rifle in YOUR house?

    You should really learn more about the people that you are commenting on, just take a weekend and read some history books about the people and their beliefs. I spent 2 years in Iraq, and 1 1/2 years in Afghanistan and there are some very nice people from both countries, BUT they do not OWN AK-47′s!!! The people that DO own AK-47′s are usually the people that grow, harvest, sell, and traffic Opium! It is one of the biggest exports in this country and the people that deal in it are some of the most dangerous people in the world. Oh, and they would love to kill the Americans and have them leave their country so that they can go back to exporting their heroin without us intervening. By the way, the drug cartels support the Taliban as security for moving the heroin out of the country. Most friendly people in these counties DON’T OWN AN AK-47! Just get educated, for yourself and the future of our Country.

    Are you kidding? The mass murders of London, Africa, New York and Yeman were executed by Al Qaida followers with specific orders from theTaliban. The innocent civilians in Iraq do not have fully automatic AK-47 assault rifles in their home. All of the civilian population in Iraq has been told not to be in possession of and assault rifles! That if they are caught with one, they will be detained and possibly jailed or imprisoned. I would think that even you would be smart enough to know

    NOT TO KEEP AN ASSULT RIFLE IN YOUR HOME!

  • http://twitter.com/sweetmisslatin lola pasarela

    All the murders that you are talking about are done and allowed by the governments to slave the world population that it is the big picture, not your revenge engine which only sees the little picture. Of course they are targeting the North Americans, because they do not know that it is the NORTH AMERICAN GOVERNMENT they should be aimed to destroy. They are the planners. They have the same size of your brain, and you know why? Because you only see the little picture of it all. Wake up you moron it is your own government who should be accountable!!!!

    What a load of crap – if you go into the average home in Texas, you will find a firearm of some description. Does that mean that family is evil and deserves to be raped burned pillaged for it? Wake up to yourself. The US is so protective of their own right to bear arms, but if someone else does, they deserve death!

    Telling lies is not the way to change the fact that U served the wrong cause and just made a buck, those 2 war’s where/are not the solution to those problems. But if you have to tell these lies to forget what crap U did over there I can understand. It’s hard to accept that U lost your friends so that people who sell arms and weapons and other crap in America can make money.

    nsightful thoughts here. Are you certain this is the best way to look at it though? My experience is that we should pretty much live and let live because what one person thinks just — another person simply doesn’t. People are going to do what they want to do. In the end, they always do. The most we can yearn for is to highlight a few things here and there that hopefully, allows them to make just a little better informed decision. Otherwise, great post. You’re definitely making me think! –Barry

    Have you ever regarded as adding a lot more videos for your website posts to maintain the readers far more entertained? I mean I just examine by means of the whole post of yours and it was really very good but due to the fact I’m much more of a visual learner,I discovered that to become extra helpful. Just my my concept, Very good luck.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
