New Swedish Documents Illuminate CIA Action
[/quote]Inside an airport police station, Swedish officers watched as the CIA operatives pulled out scissors and rapidly sliced off the prisoners' clothes, including their underwear, according to newly released Swedish government documents and eyewitness statements. They probed inside the men's mouths and ears and examined their hair before dressing the pair in sweat suits and draping hoods over their heads. The suspects were then marched in chains to the plane, where they were strapped to mattresses on the floor in the back of the cabin
...
Swedish security police said they were taken aback by the swiftness and precision of the CIA agents that night. Investigators concluded that the Swedes essentially stood aside and let the Americans take control of the operation, moving silently and communicating with hand signals, the documents show.

BTW - these aren't newly arrested suspects - these are guys who have already been in jail and were already in handcuffs.
Yeah - this is only a few derranged guards at Abu Graib. Uh huh. Rumsfeld knows nothing about this. Riiiight.
Oh yeah. speaking of, Afghan president 'shocked' by U.S. abuse report
Of course, as Ben-T said in antoher thread, sometimes ruthlessness is necessary. (slightly out of context, but I don't think you will disagree)

So where is the abuse in searching prisoners and making a wardrobe change and transported to a new location?
Oh maybe because they weren't offered a room at the holiday inn!!
Swedish officers can put this report where the sun don't shine.
