GITMO PRISONERS "TORTURED" BY BEING WRAPPED IN ISRAELI FLAGS

'Gitmo’ prisoners wrapped in Israeli flags
U.S. military interrogators wrapped prisoners at Guantanamo in Israeli flags, according to the FBI. The revelation came during congressional testimony this week on tension between the FBI and the military over investigation tactics at the U.S.-held territory in Cuba, where detainees from U.S. operations in the Middle East are held. In newly declassified documents, the FBI sharply criticizes the military for “aggressive” tactics that it says were ineffective.

Among the tactics, outlined by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), the Jewish ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee: showing prisoners gay porn, using strobe lights, playing loud music, turning up heat, and wrapping prisoners in Israeli flags. Gen. Bantz Craddock, the chief of Southern Command, said the FBI reports did not amount to more than “allegations.”
