A lie, of course. The results of several careful investigations were
printed. None demonstrated any physical abuse.

A medical report contradicted this testimony.

None of which even bruised the “victim.”

Medical examination contradicted this witness. All investigating bodies
concluded that he was lying.

Please note that there is no allegation of physical mistreatment. The
sentence of this individual was commuted because these methods were
considered improper.

So what?
Remainder of post, which consists of testimony that the charges Giwer
makes are untrue are deleted. Odd, isn’t it, that even when Giwer posts
something from his nazi sources, they contradict his assertions. There were
extensive investigations made into the allegations of physical abuse which Giwer
makes. One was made by an independent army commission, one was made by
a Congressional committee under the influence of Joe MacCarthy, one was
made by Lucius Clay. None found the slightest bit of evidence that the charges
of physical abuse were true. Various other methods, such as the prolonged
interrogations under bright lights were found to be true and the sentences of
those persons commuted. It was also found that these methods were not
generally used in the interrogations but were limited to those (like Kick) who were
accused of particpating in the Malmedy Massacre.
Perhaps now Matty-poo will explain why those methods that he claims
were standard, were considered so outrageous that the sentences were
commuted.
Perhaps he’ll just lie and call people names.
