The sexualization of torture from the top basically turned Abu Ghraib
and Guantánamo Bay into an organized sex-crime ring in which the
trafficked sex slaves were US-held prisoners. Looking at the classic S
and M nature of some of this torture, it is hard not to speculate that
someone setting policy was aroused by all of this. And Phillipe Sands'
impeccably documented Torture Team: Rumsfeld's Memo and the Betrayal of
American Values, now proves that sex crime was authorized and, at least
one source reports, eroticized: Diane Beaver, the Staff Judge Advocate
at Guantanamo who signed off on many torture techniques, told Sands
about brainstorming sessions that included the use of "sexual tension,"
which was "culturally taboo, disrespectful, humiliating and potentially
unexpected."
