Four journalists on their recent stay in an Iraqi prison:
Iraqis held in the same prison block were not so lucky, according to the journalists.Frankly, this is pretty mild compared to Uday's Fun House. But it's nice to think that while Molly and her co-workers were imprisoned, fearless newshawk Peter Arnett was swapping spit with the head thugs.
The four described Iraqi prisoners being led off to torture chambers. Other prisoners bore bruises, cuts, and other signs of beatings. Some hobbled about as if the soles of their feet had been whipped.
''We could hear screams, especially at night,'' McAllester recounted. ''They were being beaten a few yards from my cell, beaten with some sort of implements.''
