Abu Ghraib Whistleblower Speaks Out on Torture-3/5

Broadcast Exclusive: Abu Ghraib Whistleblower Samuel Provance Speaks Out on Torture and Cover-Up at U.S. Military Jail

In a national TV broadcast exclusive, we spend the hour with Abu Ghraib whistleblower and former Army sergeant, Samuel Provance. From September 2003 to the spring of 2004, Provance ran the top-secret computer network used by Military Intelligence at Abu Ghraib. He was the first intelligence specialist to speak openly about abuse at the prison and is the only Military Intelligence soldier listed as a witness in the Taguba report. Among the abuses he lists is the torture of a sixteen-year-old Iraqi boy in order to make his father talk. After Provance spoke out, the Army stripped him of his security clearance, demoted him and threatened him with ten years in jail. [includes rush transcript]

with 6 billion plus people on the planet, you'll find that some of us don't mind making a "sacrifice." We are curious. They destroyed my emotional understandings so that I'd be the monkey waitor, but they don't know that it takes intelligence to do anything. I now live in a group home. Good luck to me doing anything.

I've been tortured, and the only thing I wanted was to do something interesting while I was being tortured. I want to play too. I'm sick of being excluded.

what is it with all these low rank betrayals? You'll never get your rating up if you don't find someone who knows something. The media will betray their low positions at some point. They are clowns.
