Swimming with the Razorfishes

Thursday, April 29, 2004

Sgt [Chip] Frederick said he and his fellow reservists had never been told how to deal with prisoners, or what lines should not be crossed.

"We had no training whatsoever," he said.

"I kept asking my chain of command for certain things... like rules and regulations. And it just wasn't happening," he said.

Ok, Chip, so you didn't have training or regulations for handling prisoners. But one would think training is not necessary to understand that you don't attach wires to prisoners' genitals.

America, these are your tax dollars at work.

Incidentally, Chip, who wasn't sure how to handle the Iraqi captives, is a member of the Army reserve. His regular, full time job? A prison guard.

Thanks to waider for getting me all riled up.
