DEBKAfile’s intelligence and counter-terror sources pinpoint the revelations tumbling out of the US prison center near Baghdad where former top Baath regime officials and operatives of al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups are incarcerated. The photos of Saddam washing his socks or in his underwear - in conditions as humiliating as those of his capture - are believed to date to January-April 2004 when Saddam was in US military custody.

Last week, Barton tore the veil off the top-secret prison known as Camp Cropper after it was closed to the world for two years. He reported to the British paper that 100 top ex-regime members are confined to windowless cells two meters square in three long single-storey cell blocks. “The only entry is through bolted steel doors with a metal ventilation flap placed a meter from the ground,” he said. Sometimes the flaps are sealed as punishment. Most of the “high-value” prisoners of Camp Cropper are held in solitary confinement. Once a day they are allowed one hour’s exercise in a small yard enclosed by a high wall. They may not speak to each other. When taken for interrogation, they are clothed in the same orange overalls as the al Qaeda inmates of Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba.

Barton said he believed the prisoners were “softened” up before they arrived in an induction process known as “purgatory.”

Meanwhile, the other 80 to 90 percent of the world's population (who are mostly spectators to the unending hostilities between the "Zionist entity" and the "Islamist entity") looks on bemused and more than a little frightened at the behavior of the world "only remaining superpower" and decides it doesn't want to do anything to extend that superpower's viability in terms of its economy or anything else.
