That's the number of prisoners who have died in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the US military:
The BBC's Pentagon correspondent Nick Childs says of the 25 deaths, 12 were found to be either of natural or "undetermined" causes, one was a "justifiable homicide", and two were murders. Ten inquiries are ongoing, he says.
I wonder which of the above categories these two fall into...?
And the Pentagon has shown exactly how seriously it takes its human rights responsibilities;
An Army official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said a soldier had been convicted of killing one of the prisoners by hitting him with a rock.He was thrown out of the army but did not go to jail.
Normally, murderers go to jail. In the US army, they just lose their jobs. Do we need any more proof that the US army regards its captives as untermenchen?
