IRANIAN DIPLOMAT SAYS CIA TORTURED HIM IN IRAQ

What do you make about the accusation of an Iranian diplomat, kidnapped in Iraq by men in Iraqi Army uniforms, that he was tortured by the CIA and others while he was in custody? Here is the story on the BBC.co.uk.

"An Iranian diplomat freed last week after being abducted in Iraq in February has said he was tortured by his captors, including CIA agents. Jalal Sharafi, the second secretary at Iran's embassy in Baghdad, told Iranian media the agents had interrogated him on his country's role in Iraq."

"Mr Sharafi told the Irna state news agency he was subjected to torture "day and night". "I was kidnapped on a Baghdad street while shopping by officials who had Iraqi defence ministry ID cards and were riding in American forces vehicles," he said."
