[edit] "He ordered him to strip him naked, burn his clothes, and tie him to a stake, outside, so his loss of bowel control wouldn't soil the other prisoners."

I love the way that whoever wrote this article presents stripping a guy naked and tying him to a wooden stake as if this was done primarily with the welfare of "other prisoners" in mind. This reads like quite a comical attempt to whitewash torture and murder. Funny though it is, I propose editing this article to remove the irrelevant/unsupported statements about what the war crimes convict may or may not have been thinking when he ordered the torture and humiliation of one of his prisoners. The only bit missing seems to be the ubiquitous claim that the victim beat himself up, while falling downstairs, and then tied himself naked to a wooden stake... 86.159.153.89 (talk) 09:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
