Army Now Says G.I. Was Beaten

Seems the Army is now agreeing up with Discharged soldier, Sean Baker about his injuries. So i suppose we now have a little evidence that the previously mentioned torture techniques weren't just in Rumsfelds memo and they weren't just soldiers getting out of hand...there was training for this stuff that actually hurt american soldiers. from the article:

Mr. Baker, 37, a former member of the 438th Military Police Company, said he played the role of an uncooperative prisoner and was beaten so badly by four American soldiers that he suffered a traumatic brain injury and seizures. He said the soldiers only stopped beating him when they realized he might be American.

Scary Stuff!

on a side note...Can I have my Impeachment now? the GOP got theirs back in 1999. i want mine now. if you are wondering why, we can have a little conversation on exactly what "high crimes" are. the double standard here is profound.
