  It appears that the coalision forces institutionally create a culture and
practices that promote torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners and
socializes coalision soldiers into torture and humiliation through setting
pragmatic goals (e.g., getting sensitive info from prisoners), >

  I have heard that the information derived from this kind of mistreatment
is completely unreliable. If so, what are the real pragmatic goals? or
WHERE? -- embedded in a broader political arena, in countries outside Iraq.
