| ACLU notes: | Statement by a NCOIC (non-commisioned officer in charge) who processed detainees after they hadbeen captured by Coalition Forces. "At first, I didn't look closely for injuries when detainees were in-processed. After a while, I was concerned and began to take notice of various injuries ... we started paying close attention to detainees physical condition during inprocessing because detainees were complaining a lot about excessive force being used during there capture." "I saw on one occasion detainee who had suffered broken ribs and a fracture to one of his arms, on another occasion I received one detainee who had received a bullet wound to his forearm and hand." "It is hard to identify any particular unit that was worse than others. However, I would say that [redacted]. This may be because they were more heavily involved in operations to capture or kill insurgents than any other unit." |
