MPs might be sadists, but torturing prisoners for information comes from higher up the ladder. In most cases it was either CIA operatives or Civilian contractors that were doing the torture. The "conspiracy theory" is bullshit. The Government covered it up and threatened those Enlisted MPs with long sentences if they coughed up the truth. I know how the military works, been there done that, and have seen quite a few mistakes covered up under threat of reprisal. If you're an enlisted man, you eat shit on a daily basis and would not think of commiting an act of torture without permission from above!@
