Report: CIA officials involved in Iraqi beatings
By The Associated Press
DENVER (AP) -- Classified U.S. personnel used a sledgehammer handle to beat prisoners in Iraq, according to a National Guard soldier who testified during a closed military hearing involving four Colorado-based soldiers in March.
Sgt. 1st Class Gerold Pratt of the Utah National Guard said he saw the unidentified personnel use a 15-inch wooden handle to hit prisoners.
"They'd ask you a question, and if they didn't like it, they'd hit you," he said, according to a transcript of the hearing obtained this week by The Denver Post... http://tinyurl.com/9e7u6

I wonder if after the next set of Abu Ghraib photos and videos come out some effort will be made to figure out who's who. Who among the torturers is CIA, military, Halliburton contractors, etc.
Since we're paying for all this human degradation it would be nice to know who to thank. Or where to make the arrests.
