Evidence has been brought to light that accused Taliban fighter Omar Khadr was threaten with rape during an interrogation session in 2002. Khadr was just a teenager when he was accused to killing a U.S. solder in Afghanistan. He had been held without trial for over nine years until his recent appearances for a Military Commission. His treatment has flown in the face of numerous treaties regarding the treatment of children in which the U.S. is a signatory. The recent evidence came from the testimony of an a former Army Interrogator that had questioned Khadr 8 years ago. I have written about Khadr's case here previously. This adds another twist to a sad story that is not inconstant with the detainee abuse events of Abu Gharib or Bagram Air Base as featured in the documentaries Standard Operating Procedure and Taxi to the Darkside.
