"Hoses and sledge hammer handles"

In a post below, I talked about how while one  soldier go off easy for overseeing the torturing-to-death of an Iraqi general, the soldier's commanders--all the way to the top--have gotten off even easier. Commanders, including those sitting back in Washington, gave orders steeped in ambiguity and winks,  and suffering from a lack of accountability. 

So what else happened at the jail where the Iraqi general was killed? The prison was known as Blacksmith Hotel and here's the Salt Lake Tribune, with details:

Central Intelligence Agency officials were beating inmates with hoses and sledge hammer handles, soldiers have testified. Senior military commanders were nowhere to be found....

Several of the soldiers who served with [Welshofer, the soldier convicted of killing the general] noted that the conditions at Blacksmith and tactics of others there made Welshofer's interrogation methods seem humane by comparison.

Number of CIA personel who've faced charges regarding any detainee abuse: one--and he was in Afghanistan, not the "Blacksmith Hotel."
