CAIRO,
May 8 (IslamOnline.net) – Major U.S. papers gave Saturday, May 8,
prominent coverage to the ever-deepening scandal of the abuse of Iraqi
prisoners at the hands of U.S. soldiers.
"Physical
and sexual abuse of prisoners, similar to what has been uncovered in
Iraq, takes place in American prisons with little public knowledge or
concern, according to corrections officials, inmates and human rights
advocates," said a New York Times article entitled
"Mistreatment of Prisoners Is Called Routine in U.S."

The
Washington Post ran another article suggesting the abuse of Iraqi
prisoners was far from being "an act of a very limited few"
– as U.S. senior officials tried to put it – but rather a matter
of "following orders".
Entitled
"Soldier: Unit's Role Was to Break Down Prisoners", the
paper quoted Spec. Sabrina D. Harman, a military police officer who
has been charged with abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison, as
saying "she was assigned to break down prisoners for
interrogation".
"They
would bring in one to several prisoners at a time already hooded and
cuffed," Harman told the Post by e-mail this week from Baghdad.
"The
job of the MP was to keep them awake, make it hell so they would
talk."
