In statements supplied by Reuters....

...In the statement of the first individual, who has been employed by Reuters since 1991, he stated that he was made to do physical activities during his interrogation, but was given a break when exhausted, that soldiers threatened him if he did not tell the truth, that he was cold, that he was not allowed to sleep at times, however, he specifically did not state or allege that he was hit or physically abused during the interrogation process or detention. He alleged that something was stuck in his mouth, but was not sure what it was exactly. “Maybe an apple, maybe a banana, maybe a shoe.” The item placed in his mouth was likely a tongue depressor.

...two of the three detained Reuters employees’ statements allege they were physically abused and made to do degrading and disrespectful acts during their detention at FOB Volturno. These two individuals are cousins, one of which has worked for Reuters only since July 2003 and the other of which is his driver and not directly employed by Reuters.

I know your opinion but I think most people would put more weight on the long-time Reuters employee.
