Whistleblowers on Fraud are Jailed and Tortured

[shraby]

I see there is another post concerning this but it has fallen off without enough attention. This one needs sent to everyone's congresscritter asap. Here's more of the story.....

Men and women who step forward to report massive fraud in the reconstruction of Iraq are being villified, demoted, fired and tortured states an article from the Associated Press posted on Forbes.

For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods.

There were times, huddled on the floor in solitary confinement with that head-banging music blaring dawn to dusk and interrogators yelling the same questions over and over, that Vance began to wish he had just kept his mouth shut.

Donald Vance thought he was doing the right thing when he told the FBI about the illegal sale of guns, land mines and rocket launchers, all sold for cash with no receipt required. The buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees.

There is much much more all of which is enough to turn a person's stomach. This is so wrong on so many levels.
