...There is an old saying that when dog bites man, it's not news, but when man bites dog, it is. Your report of the sexually loaded torment of prisoners at Guantánamo is hardly shocking. After what happened (and probably continues to occur) in Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram, Afghanistan, such abuse by U.S. forces has come to be accepted as the norm. When we hear of prisoners being humanely treated by their U.S. captors, that will indeed be news. Tony Correia-Afonso Benaulim, India...

In the process of removing Saddam Hussein, the U.S. showered conventional bombs on Iraq, killing innocent citizens. The torturing of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was also a heinous crime. So it is hypocritical for Americans to condemn Khan when it is the U.S. that has lost the confidence and trust of the world. Nizar Ali London...
...Physician-Assisted Abuse "The Abu Ghraib scandal you don't Know" described how the prison's medical system became an "instrument of abuse, by design and by neglect" [Feb. 14].
