NPR this AM - torture papers from the Army
They discussed papers the army had to give to the ACLU due to the Freedom of Information Act. Some of the wonderful things our Army has been accused of:

- making a detained woman, 73 years old, crawl on the floor on her hands and knees while a soldier was on her back shouting racial slurs at her
