“But there's another reason they were kept in diapers, at least while in transit, and I suspect at other times as well: forced enemas.

Mr. Kahtani was, for example, forcibly given an enema, officials said, which was used because it was uncomfortable and degrading.

Pentagon spokesmen said the procedure was medically necessary because Mr. Kahtani was dehydrated after an especially difficult interrogation session. Another official, told of the use of the enema, said, however, “I bet they said he was dehydrated,” adding that that was the justification whenever an enema was used as a coercive technique, as it had been on several detainees.

Diapering would likely be part of such a torture technique, I imagine. The American torturers prided themselves on hygiene, after all.

This stuff is actually one of many sick, psychosexual techniques that were used on prisoners under the assumption that “teh ayrabs” were especially a-scared of the dirty dirty.”

He says “You have informed us that diapers are used solely for sanitary and health reasons and not in order to humiliate the detainee.”….

Sometimes I have wondered how people go apeshit about 'is waterboarding torture', but forcing a guy to stand up for days on end while some CIA agent changes his diapers… err.. how is that not torture? Id like to see some talk radio show or author volunteer for that one for charity.

Another question…. who was the guy whose job it was to change the guys diaper? Office of Medical Services?

But like you say…. what was going on with this… did someone try to cover it up or something (or call it something else, like 'Sleep Deprivation') because they knew that it would shock the conscience?
