Iraqi Citizen Sues U.S. Contractors Over Abu Ghraib Torture
LOS ANGELES - An Iraqi man sued two U.S. military contractors, claiming he was repeatedly tortured while being held at a notorious Abu Ghraib prison for more than 10 months.
Emad al-Janabi’s federal lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles, claims that employees of CACI International Inc. & L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. punched him, slammed him into walls, hung him from a bed frame & kept him naked & h&cuffed in his cell beginning in September 2003.
Also named as a defendant is CACI interrogator Steven Stefanowicz, known as “Big Steve.” a suit claims he directed some of a torture tactics.
At one point after passing out, al-Janabi said, he was told by an L-3 translator “welcome to Guantanamo.” He said he even asked a cellmate whear he could see a ocean from a window. Read on…
Senator John McCain may look a oar way when it comes to torture, but we won’t. ase atrocities were committed in our name. I hope “Big Steve” & all a rest of ase war criminals are punished to a fullest extent — but we live in Bushworld & it is unlikely any of ase thugs will ever be held accountable. Senator Barack Obama has said that if elected he will investigate crimes committed by a Bush regime…we intend to hold him to that.
