Intel Agent Strapped to Gurney and Flown Out of Iraq by U.S. Army After Reporting Torture of Detainees

On June 15, 2003, Sgt. Frank "Greg" Ford, a counterintelligence agent in the National Guard stationed in Samarra told his commanding officer, Capt. Victor Artiga, that he had witnessed five incidents of torture and abuse of Iraqi detainees at his base, and requested a formal investigation.

Thirty-six hours later, Ford, a 49-year-old with over 30 years of military service in the Coast Guard, Army and Navy, was ordered by U.S. Army medical personnel to lie down on a gurney. He was then strapped down, loaded onto a military plane and medevac"d to a military medical center outside the country - even though there was nothing wrong with him.

4. I heard about this yesterday.

This is so messed up, I'm amazed we are even hearing about this.

Not to worry, I'm sure it's all the fault of a few bad apples. Nothing systemic.
