Saddam's half brother oversees torture on video tape.

"Go on, go on," Hasan al-Tikriti tells his khaki-clad ministry police as they repeatedly slash prisoners with sticks, electric cables and metal bars at a Baghdad detention center. the Washington Times reported. The police kick the prisoners again and again, the Times said.

Hasan was captured April 13 as he apparently attempted to flee to Syria and is being held in a coalition prison...

The gruesome pictures, with testimony by one of the beaten prisoners, are expected to be of value in building a criminal prosecution against Hasan.

Question: what sort of freak video tapes stuff like this?
