CAMP BUCCA, Iraq— A security detainee died Nov. 25 at Camp Bucca, Iraq, from what appears to be natural causes. An investigation is pending to determine the cause of death, a standard procedure for detainees who die while in custody of the Multi-National Force.

The detainee had been admitted to the hospital Nov. 23 complaining of chest pains. He was still under medical care at the time of his death.

An attending physician pronounced him dead at 9:30 p.m. Nov. 25.

The family will receive the remains upon completion of the investigation, in accordance with standard procedure.

1. So what I want to know is...

...is 'death from natural causes' a euphemism for ODing on waterboard? Or one of the other 'not torture, honestly! We don't DO torture (we outsource it)!' methods for information extraction...
Or maybe just bad spinach...:sarcasm:

I know that people die...everywhere, all the time; and of 'natural causes'.
Usually this means that the person in question was either in poor health to begin with, older than dirt, or a combination of the two.
But somebody dying 'of natural causes' while being 'detained' is just a bit suspicious, don't you think?

2. Organ failure resulting from torture

Our troops are putting the German SS to shame when it comes to cruelty and human rights violations.

3. We have every reason the doubt the official story...

...after everything that's been revealed, there's no reason to give the Bush mafia the benefit of the doubt.

5. The Pentagon has a dismal track record when it comes to telling the truth

even Al-Qaeda has more credibility than our military, and that's not saying much!

4. *Detainee* sounds so damn pretentious.

He was a political prisoner for crisakes. Tell it like it is. And he was on the torture/interrogation waiting list no doubt.
