(Jerusalem Post) David Brinn - I first joined the ranks of the IDF in 1990 as a 30-year-old reservist corporal in the Military Police. "We need you to go to these prisons and be in charge of the hour-by-hour contact with the prisoners," an officer told us during basic training. "We need mature, thoughtful people who aren't going to blow up and let their emotions dictate their actions." For the next 14 years, I joined conscripts, officers, and other reservists down on the ground with Palestinian detainees, making things run. Huge shipments of food delivered daily had to be dispersed, prisoners had to be taken to doctors and to dentists. Others had appointments with their attorneys, and every day there were staggered visits from family members. Could such a travesty as in Abu Ghraib occur at an Israeli military prison? Almost certainly not. In no corner would there have been any tolerance or simply turning the other way in the event of anything remotely resembling abusive or humiliating behavior.2004-05-14 00:00:00Full Article
