[Media-watch] iraqis tortured to death coverup - documentary on Spiegel TV

[Sigi D]

Dear MW friends,
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,299964,00.html

Spiegel TV will show documentary on Sunday night (16
May 04 at 22.55 on RTL) that US regulary tortures
Iraqis to death and then covers the whole thing up.
This is just a quote from article:
(you will find the whole translated article on 
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6188.htm
"(...) According to the research of Spiegel TV, the
case of the family father Jaleel in occupied Iraq is
not a rarity. Employees of the Forensic Pathology
Institute in Baghdad confirm that among the bodies
that the International Red Cross has handed over to
them on behalf of the Americans there are always
victims of torture. However, the Iraqi pathologists
are forbidden to do their own investigation as long as
there is an American death certificate - even if the
information about the cause of death is obviously
false.
The US Army Remains Silent
About five bodies with US Armed Forces death
certificates are handed over every week in Baghdad
alone, according to the employees of the Institute.
The established practice of the Americans is to
declare bodies that come from the prison at Abu
Ghuraib as victims of grenade attacks on the camp.
This was the case with the bodies of 26 detainees last
week, even though only some of the bodies showed
injuries typical of grenade attacks, the employees
said. (...)"
