Camp Nama
Camp Nama was a military base in Baghdad, Iraq, under the government of Saddam Hussein. The name is an acronym for "Nasty Ass Military Area." After the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, the camp was taken over by elite American Special Operations forces. The New York Times reported on 19 March 2006, the three-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion, that the elite unit, known as Task Force 6-26, used the facility to "torture" and abuse prisoners both before and after the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal. Some of the "torture" took place in "The Black Room," which used to be a torture chamber when Saddam's government ran the facility. The camp was the target of repeated warnings and investigations from U.S. officials since August 2003. There were placards around the camp that read "No Blood No Foul," a reference to the notion, described by a Pentagon official, that "If you don't make them bleed, they can't prosecute for it."
The main purpose of the camp was to interrogate prisoners for information about Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The Black Room
Detainees at the camp that were considered "high-value" were interrogated in "The Black Room," a dark mostly bare room with large metal hooks hanging from the ceiling. The guards often used loud rock 'n' roll or rap music to torment prisoners during interrogations. The New York Times authors noted, "In the windowless, jet-black garage-size room, some soldiers beat prisoners with rifle butts, yelled and spit in their faces and, in a nearby area, used detainees for target practice in a game of jailer paintball." It should be mentioned that forcing prisoners to listen to certain types of music, forcing them to stay awak and yelling in their faces is not universally considered torture.
