Iraqi Victim Says U.S. Torture Worse Than Saddam
Iraqi Victim Says U.S. Torture Worse Than Saddam

'I couldn't believe in the beginning that this could happen, but I wished I could kill myself because no one was there to stop it,' Hussein Mutar, who was sent to Abu Ghraib accused of car theft, said in videotaped testimony.

'They were torturing us as though it was theater for them,' he said, as the prosecution wound up its case against Graner on assault, dereliction of duty and other charges that could bring him up to 17 1/2 years in prison.

An obviously ill-at ease Mutar added: 'I was extremely emotional because (even) Saddam didn't do this to us.'"

Let me get this straight... the guy who wrote the memo that claimed it was A OK to torture people like this... he is the Attorney General? Did I take the red pill when I wasn't looking or something?
