Report: U.S. Soldiers Did 'Dirty Work' for Chinese Interrogators
Alleges Guantanamo Personnel Softened Up Detainees
at Request of Chinese Intelligence

By JUSTIN ROOD
May 20, 2008

U.S. military personnel at Guantanamo Bay allegedly softened
up detainees at the request of Chinese intelligence officials
who had come to the island facility to interrogate the men
-- or they allowed the Chinese to dole out the treatment
themselves, according to claims in a new government report.

Buried in a Department of Justice report released Tuesday are
new allegations about a 2002 arrangement between the United
States and China, which allowed Chinese intelligence to visit
Guantanamo and interrogate Chinese Uighurs held there.

According to the report by Justice Department Inspector
General Glenn Fine, an FBI agent reported a detainee belonging
to China's ethnic Uighur minority and a Uighur translator told
him Uighur detainees were kept awake for long periods,
deprived of food and forced to endure cold for hours on end,
just prior to questioning by Chinese interrogators.

Susan Manning, a lawyer who represents several Uighurs still
held at Guantanamo, said Tuesday the allegations are all too
familiar.

1. My first thought when I read this

was, "So I guess this is what the Chinese outsource to us."

If we don't plan carefully, this might be what our primary industry becomes . . .

2. Great, just great.

And still the administration is bitching about Human Rights in China. Hypocritters.
