That was pretty interesting. Even though the guy had his human rights violated and all, he wasn't "tortured' like everyone says keeps happening...... And this is on a far left wing website.

"About six weeks into his stay, he was issued a pair of pants. Later he was given a T-shirt, then shoes, a Koran and finally a mattress. Jabour said prison conditions slowly improved: Air conditioning was installed; a library was built and stocked with books in Arabic, Urdu and English. Well-behaved detainees were rewarded with movie nights, in which such Hollywood blockbusters as "Titanic" were screened. A deputy director of the facility taught Jabour how to play chess and gave him pencils and paper. Jabour used to draw pictures of trees and grass, which he hung in his windowless cell."

Watching Titanic officially counts as a form of torture.

Very typical.

While people are supposedly being tortured and treated inhumanely by the US, they are actually being afforded luxuries and privileges that alot of civilians don't even get in most prisons of the world...

And the funny thing is, there was a French prison that was found to have worse reports of human rights abuse than Guantanamo bay. Yet you don't hear anyone crying bloody murder about that now do you?

I know people that served as detainee guards down in Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay) and they said the worst they ever did was play Barney a lot. They also are not allowed to use sandbags anymore and there are numerous restrictions to what they can and can't do.

I say we treat them all like their in the French Foreign Legion, they deserve no less.

I also really have to agree you ,Draconias, on this as a form of torture.
Barbarity of an extremely inhumane kind.

Can you make a single post without spouting bullshit about liberals and communism. They are not the same thing, look them up on wikipedia or something. I would consider myself liberal and I started the fucking topic.

Sorry, buddy. The modern Democratic Liberal is very marxist in their views. Obama and Clinton manke near perfect comparisons with Snowball and Napolean from Animal Farm.

He was, however, chained up and left for hours in painful positions more than 20 times and deprived of sleep for long periods. Sometimes he would have one hand chained to a section of his cell wall, making it impossible to stand or sit.

I like how you left out this part. He was only treated well because he told them everything. More resilient prisoners or indeed innocents who knew nothing would have far worse stories to tell.

alright but you know why many black sites are black sites
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT WANT US TO KNOW THEY EXIST
why you may ask....
BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING TREATED IN HUMANELY
that is why we pay the country's they are in to not allow the press to know and to keep them hidden
anyway i remember bush trying to prove that "terrorists are not soldiers and thus cant be protected by the geneva convention" which would make it allowed for otherwise illegal acts to be allowed
and after this was unsuccessful america began creating these blacksites
seems a little suspicious?
anyway explain the reports by prisoners of the abuse and mistreatment
many are illiterate and many have never been educated so why would they all make this up and have so much detail... anyway how would an uneducated and illiterate person come up with this?
many as young as 13 have brought up the fact that they were tortured and abused
LOOK AT ABU GHRAIB!
i dont even think that was a blacksite and that was going on
COMMON SENSE
torture is wrong and shouldnt be committed yet our government does it as a way to interrogate
oh yea last thing
no black sites are in the u.s. because then they can go against american and geneva convention laws
and if it was getting better why is the U.N. still investigating this

[uhnoesanoob]

Terrorists? Treated inhumanly? UH NOES!

Really, if they are being treated that way, its only because they want us all to die and willnot reveal intel. How come its ok for them to take INNOCENT Americans and kill them in a video, but if we take terrorists we are evil bastards?

[fastbow]

Don't torture them, just put pork in everything they eat, then bury them with the carcass of a pig....

Problem solved!
