The only Pentagon investigation into Special Operations' role in detainee abuse, led by Brigadier General Richard Formica in 2004, focused only on specific allegations of abuse, not on what standard detention and interrogation procedures are for SOF [Special Operations Forces]. Formica nevertheless found that for four months in 2004, interrogators used techniques "including sleep management, stress positions, dietary manipulation, and yelling/loud music that were not specifically authorized" by the U.S. command in Iraq -- and which the command had, in October 2003, expressly foresworn. Formica attributed the use of those techniques to a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
