Those who blow whistle on
contractor fraud in Iraq face US torture

24 Aug 2007 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... He had thought
he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the
guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers - all of them being sold Shield Group Security Co.] for cash, no receipts necessary, he said.
He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi 'insurgents,'
American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry
employees... Also held was colleague Nathan Ertel, who helped Vance gather
evidence documenting the sales, according to a federal lawsuit both have filed
in Chicago, alleging they were illegally imprisoned and subjected to physical
and mental interrogation tactics ''reserved for terrorists and so-called enemy
combatants.''
