...Medical personnel and others who worked at the prison tell TIME that, with straitjackets unavailable, tethers--like the leash on Gus--were put to use at Abu Ghraib to control unruly or mentally disturbed detainees, sometimes with the concurrence of a doctor. That such a restraint-- which is supposed to be placed around legs, arms or torsos--ended up instead around a man's neck seems to be a case of a medically condoned practice degenerating into abuse. But there was also medical disarray at the prison: amputations performed by nondoctors, chest tubes recycled from the dead to the living...
...under-stocking of Abu Ghraib were felt most acutely after the prison came under shelling by insurgents. A doctor who served there recalled an attack last April when a mortar landed on an outdoor pen holding prisoners, killing at least 16 outright and wounding more than 60. Former prison personnel described how those attacks produced pandemonium, with panicked prisoners seeking treatment from what were at times very few, poorly equipped medical workers. "When somebody died, we just took out their chest tube and inserted it into another, living person," said National Guard Captain Kelly Parrson, a physician's assistant...
Harvard University Health Services (UHS) promises privacy for a reason. All students and affiliates of the university need to feel secure in sharing their most personal information with their individual care providers as well as with UHS pharmacists and other medical personnel.

Even in the most optimistic view, which says there are some 125,373 personnel fully or partially trained (the U.S. acknowledges that only about one-third are combat-ready), some 110,577 of those are police, national guard and border patrol units - dedicated primarily to dealing with domestic threats. Right now, according to the U.S. government's own figures, there are only 14,786 Iraqis fully...
...Vietnam, the situation we face today is unique in military history. While it seems as if the almost-daily attacks in Iraq are scattered throughout the country, in reality the insurgent are largely confined to a single Sunni dominated area. Additionally, while the attacks on United States military personnel receive the most coverage, they are not the target of the majority of violence. Rather, the attacks are carried out on an assortment of totally innocent civilians: Iraqis working with the Coalition forces, or foreign aid workers with no connection to the Western military presence...
