Pentagon report on Guantanamo deaths is being buried.

Hi Everyone!,

I saw a short blurb this morning on CNN (Asia), it was a pentagon press briefing about the sleeping bag beatings/deaths. It was very short, about 1 minute long, and I only saw it twice. I guess that the official pentagon report was released today. I'm very concerned because I'm out here in Indonesia (Makassar), and they're know to have riots/uprisings when such news comes out. They went around the hotels and hauled Americans away to the airport when the Koran desicration news came out a few months ago. Obviouosly I'm very concerned about this new news, but it seems to have disappeared?????? was I hallucinating????? Has anyone heard/seen anything about this? The short blurb didn't even include the reporter's question, but the pentagon spokes/salesperson seemed to be replying with the answer that "beating people to death isn't in the Army Field Manual." Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Iraqi Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed Mowhoush was being stubborn with his American captors, and a series of intense beatings and creative interrogation tactics were not enough to break his will. On the morning of Nov. 26, 2003, a U.S. Army interrogator and a military guard grabbed a green sleeping bag, stuffed Mowhoush inside, wrapped him in an electrical cord, laid him on the floor and began to go to work. Again.
