Report: CIA Took Naked Photos of Detainees Before Sending Them for Torture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian newspaper has revealed the CIA took naked photographs of
people it sent to foreign countries for torture. The photographs,
described by one U.S. official as "very gruesome," were reportedly taken
to protect the CIA from ramifications if the prisoners were tortured
after being transferred to foreign custody. Human rights groups said
taking naked photographs of prisoners constitutes sexual humiliation and
could even be a war crime.
