Rape Rooms

From the Report of United States Army Major General Antonio M. Taguba:

Between October and December 2003, at the Abu Ghraib Confinement Facility, numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses were inflicted on several detainees. This systemic and illegal abuse of detainees was intentionally perpetrated by several members of the military police guard force.... The allegations of abuse were substantiated by detailed witness statements and the discovery of extremely graphic photographic evidence...
[...]

I find that the intentional abuse of detainees by military police personnel included the following acts:

[...]

-- Forcibly arranging detainees in various sexually explicit positions for photographing.

[...]


-- A male MP [military police] guard having sex with a female detainee.

[...]

In addition, several detainees also described the following acts of abuse, which under the circumstances, I find credible based on the clarity of their statements and supporting evidence provided by other witnesses:

[...]

-- Threatening male detainees with rape.

[...]

-- Sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broomstick.
