/Center for Economic and Social Rights/
<http://www.uruknet.info/.?p=3474> ..."Torture is only the tip of the
iceberg," said Roger Normand, an international lawyer who directs the
Center. "From unlawful killings, mass arrests, and collective punishment

/Michel Chossudovsky, www.globalresearch.ca/
The US intelligence apparatus has created it own terrorist
organizations. And at the same time, it creates its own terrorist
warnings concerning the terrorist organizations which it has itself
created. In turn, it has developed a cohesive multibillion dollar
counterterrorism program "to go after" these terrorist organizations.
Counterterrorism and war propaganda are intertwined... continua /

/Phil Shiner/
Baha Mousa was 26 when he died. A recent widower, following the death of
his young wife from cancer, he looked after his three- and five-year-old
sons and worked at a hotel in Basra. Over the course of three days last
September, according to eyewitnesses, he and six other hotel employees
were systematically beaten, abused, humiliated and tortured while
detained by members of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment. The treatment

*Lawyer says Saddam tortured*
/AP/
A Jordanian lawyer who claims he represents Saddam Hussein said he
believes the ousted Iraqi leader was subjected to torture, although a
copy of a letter reportedly sent to his daughters seems to show the
ex-president in good spirits. Mohammed Rashdan said he had a copy of a
January 21 report by the International Committee of the Red Cross that
said the detainee's health was good but that he was "slightly wounded."
It gave no details on the injury. "This is blatant proof that the Iraqi
president was subjected to physical and moral torture and violence,"
said Rashdan, who says Saddam's wife appointed him as lawyer shortly
after the ex-leader's December 13 capture... continua / continued
