well, coming from a newspaper that seems to advocate feeding steak and eggs to the prisoners before awarding them cash prizes for killing the kurds, i guess we'll have to call that figure dubious at best.

solitary confinement is against the geneva convention? BS. im calling that one right now, cus i can smell it even from here. what are they going to do, hurt themselves? international red cross can bite me for all i care... they blow everything out of proportion anyway.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't AP a news agency (like Reuters) rather than a newspaper?
Also, aren't people "innocent until proven guilty" anymore?
