The Bush Administration is now really beginning to feel the heat. First you have the mass protests in Italy over the gunning down of a car that was driving an Italian hostage to safety. Then you have the accusations that Moslem religious books were flushed down latrines in Guantanamo Bay. Now there are further allegations of abuse in Afghanistan and the B.B.C. reports the following:

"The new allegations relate to the level of abuse the two prisoners - known only as Dilawar and Habibullah - are said to have been subjected to.
'Innocent man'
Dilawar, 22, was said to have been chained to a ceiling by his wrists for four days, and then beaten on his legs more than 100 times during a 24-hour period.
He was being questioned about an attack on a US air base, but the report says most interrogators believed him to be an innocent taxi driver who simply drove past at the time of the attack.
Other reported abuses included:
A prisoner being forced to kiss the boots of interrogators
Another prisoner being forced to pick plastic bottle tops out of a drum filled with excrement and water
A female interrogator stepping on a man's neck and kicking another in the genitals."
