"In the era of Saddam Hussein, Abu Ghraib, twenty miles west of Baghdad, was one of the world’s most notorious prisons, with torture, weekly executions, and vile living conditions. As many as fifty thousand men and women—no accurate count is possible—were jammed into Abu Ghraib at one time, in twelve-by-twelve-foot cells that were little more than human holding pits."

Seymore Hersh one of the best writer around when it comes to the world of intelligence. He broke the KAL007 store with the Russian ground to air control transcripts.

When did we start using doing this, "...interrogation specialists from private defense contractors.."?

Mr. Sharkey will have more on this later....
