I call Bullshit on the NYT and Red Cross
we all gotta say something -- it's too freaky to let slideRed Cross charges Gitmo treatment "tantamount to torture" The report of the June visit said investigators had found a system devised to break the will of the prisoners at Guantánamo, who now number about 550, and make them wholly dependent on their interrogators through "humiliating acts, ...
Ya mean like Basic Training / Boot Camp ?
...solitary confinement, temperature extremes, use of forced positions." Investigators said that the methods used were increasingly "more refined and repressive" than learned about on previous visits. "The construction of such a system, whose stated purpose is the production of intelligence, cannot be considered other than an intentional system of cruel, unusual and degrading treatment and a form of torture," the report said
A detainee who cooperates with interrogators and follows rules is given white clothing to wear.

The most striking of the accusations, which have come mainly from a group of detainees released to their native Britain, has been that the military used prostitutes who made coarse comments and come-ons to taunt some prisoners who are Muslims.
"Coarse comments." Coarse fucking comments ??!? How far in denial are these Red Cross Cretins?!? They are refusing to deal with the uncivilized side -- or to even recognize its existence. That's insanity. And the NYT, and anyone who treats this report as though it actually makes sense is simply perpetuating the craziness. Irresponsible at best. Irresponsible if unconscious. Seditious if intentional. [log in: Gippo23, PW: carote bugmenot.com -- use it!]
