US soldier water-boards 4-year-old daughter

Mon, 08 Feb 2010

An American soldier whose unit has served in Iraq and Afghanistan wars admits to using brutal CIA torture techniques on his young daughter because she could not recite the alphabet.

Joshua Tabor has admitted to water-boarding his little girl, whose custody he won just a month ago, because he knew she was horrified of water.

The 27-year-old soldier was arrested after he turned up in a Kevlar military helmet, threatening to smash windows.

Police went to Tabor's home in neighboring Yelm, where his girlfriend told them about the alleged torture.

His terrified 4-year-old daughter bore bruises all over her back and scratch marks on her neck when she was found hiding in a closet, police said. When asked how she got her injuries, she replied: "Daddy did it," according to The Daily Telegraph.

The cruel father serves in the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, which is home to units that serve in the US war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Simulating a feeling of being drowned, water-boarding was used by the CIA interrogators to force terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay to come clean.

Former US President George W. Bush approved the controversial interrogation method along with several others, including sleep deprivation and hunger.
