The inquiry uncovered numerous instances in which female interrogators, using dye, pretended to spread menstrual blood on Muslim men, the official said. Separately, in court papers and public statements, three detainees say that women smeared them with blood.
...
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the report has not yet been made public, said the fake blood was used on Muslim men before they intended to pray, because some Muslims believe that "if a woman touches him prior to prayer, then he's dirty and can't pray." Muslim men also believe that contact with women other than their wives diminishes religious purity.
Remember, Muslim World, do not listen to Bin Laden. We are not engaged in a war against Islam.
Posted by cradle at February 10, 2005 9:21 PMThe URL points to this Al Jazeera story:
A German-born Turk being held at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay was sexually humiliated by three scantily clad female interrogators, his lawyer has told German media.
Murat Kurnaz was "sexually stimulated in a helpless position" by "three women in lacy bras and panties" at the controversial prison in Cuba, lawyer Bernhard Docke told the online version of Spiegel magazine in Berlin on Thursday.
"He was tied up and chained up by scantily clad women who told him he was attractive and said they could have fun together," the lawyer added.
One of the women sat on his lap while another rubbed her breasts against him. When he managed to push one of the women away, he was beaten by guards, Docke said.
"It is not hard to imagine how disturbing this is for someone who has spent three years in solitary confinement," Docke added, saying his client had strict religious beliefs.
[Is this a planted story to get more Al Quaeda terrorists to turn themselves in???]
Posted by: T11S at February 10, 2005 11:47 PMMore likely to create Al Qaeda terrorists, I imagine, or sympathy for them, in the Muslim world.
It's interesting to compare how the same events are described by the Post's article and Al Jazeera's.
Al Jazeera:
One of the women sat on his lap while another rubbed her breasts against him. When he managed to push one of the women away, he was beaten by guards, Docke said.
Washington Post:
When Kurnaz averted his eyes, he said, one woman sat on his lap, another rubbed her breasts against his back and massaged his chest and a third squatted near his crotch. He head-butted the woman behind him, he said, knocking her off him. All three ran out and a team of soldiers stormed in and beat him, he said.
"Head-butting" becomes "managed to push one of the women away."
