From Bjorn Staerk:
"The Danes have been having their own little torture scandal this summer. A Danish officer-- Annemette Hommel--faces charges after an interpreter accused her of mistreating prisoners during interrogations. Iraqi prisoners were refused water, kept in uncomfortable positions, and generally treated roughly. Sounds bad. But according to Hommel, the interpreters, most of them Palestinian Danes, were unprofessional, and openly sympathetic to the prisoners. They also found it difficult to work with a female officer. Hommel did deny one prisoner water during an interrogation, but she says he called for water constantly to cause delay. The interrogations were short and superficial anyway - the British do the real interrogations. Hommel attributes the accusation to revenge."
