The editor of the authoritative trade publication "Editor and Publisher," Greg Mitchell, wrote on article on Nov. 1 entitled "Revealed: U.S. Soldier Killed Herself After Objecting to Interrogation Techniques." He tells the story of U.S. Army specialist Alyssa Peterson, 27. She died on Sept. 15, 2003, by "non-hostile weapons discharge," according to the military.
Her story lay dormant until longtime radio and newspaper reporter Ken Elston decided to probe further in 2005. On Oct. 31 he reported the following on her hometown radio station KNAU in Flagstaff, Arizona: "Peterson objected to the interrogation techniques used on prisoners. She refused to participate after only two nights. Army spokespersons for her unit have refused to describe the interrogation techniques Alyssa objected to. They say all records of those techniques have now been destroyed."
Elston reports on interviews with her colleagues, "The reactions to the suicide were that she was having a difficult time separating her personal feelings from her professional duties." Peterson was a devout Mormon. She is described by a friend as being "genuine, sincere, sweeta wonderful person." |
