"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Homan Square: Disappeared-Detainees Report Abduction, Brutality and Torture
As of yet, no Homan Square officers involved in these reputed atrocities have been identified and likely will not be. Determining whether or not officers involved in these Homan Squares interrogations had military backgrounds may prove a curious investigative venture for the willing. Some aspects of the interrogation, specifically tying detainees in crucifix-like positions, rings shades of Abu Ghraib and other such episodes. Perhaps inquiry into the conduct of officers with and without military experience should be in the domain of social science, not politics.
