The brave Aussie SAS
I wondered why these good men were needed in the Middle East , now its clear they will be doing guard duty as thats what they have trained for.
FORMER SAS trooper has told how members of the Australian Defence Force's most elite regiment subjected their Indonesian captives to acts of depravity during the East Timor campaign.
They used torture techniques that breached the Geneva Convention.
The trooper took photographs at the beginning of their ordeal when his colleagues were preparing them for interrogation.
The pictures show the detainees being searched and sorted and then led off to a guarded tent at the regiment's base camp, that had been set up alongside the Army's 5th aviation group at a heliport in Dili.
Not wanting to be named for fear of reprisal, he has told The Sunday Times that almost a dozen men were held without food or water for 90 hours and forced to sit, blindfolded and handcuffed, in what the SAS refers to as the stress position – cross-legged with a straight back.
They were kept awake by the soldiers guarding them and kept disoriented by a strategically placed generator outside their tent prison.
The detainees were then paraded separately past the mangled bodies of two of their dead countrymen who earlier had been involved in an ambush of Australian troops.
The SAS soldier says his colleagues forced their prisoners' faces to within centimetres of a corpse and then whipped off their blindfold.
"The first thing they saw was a head that looked like a smashed pumpkin and then they were asked: `Do you know this man?'," he said.
At this point, several captives had urinated and defecated with fear. But things were to get worse when the two bodies used in the shock tactics were unable to be deposited at the temporary morgue because the Red Cross was worried about reprisals to its staff if it accepted them.

I could think of a far worse torture.
