Doctors at Guantanamo mutilate people...

Testimony from people released from the concentration camps Cuba have been quite consistent in depicting the regime there...

I hardly see them giving us the life stories and complete physical characteristics of all Guantanamo prisoners with pictures, etc... how do you know some don't have all their teeth missing, etc, and if we were to see such a person they'd say that they lost their teeth under different circumstances...

I see Zubaydah lost an eye at Guantanamo... interesting.

How did he lose his eye? Do you know or are you just posturing again?

He does not know... It just happened under the tender mercies of US custody.

With the culture of secrecy surrounding that concentration camp and the War of Terror in general we are supposed to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are not using this secrecy to commit atrocities. So much surrounding these prisoners is kept secret and so we are supposed to conclude that they are being well-treated.

May I add that these are people said to have been captured on battlefields (which is not quite true for the vast majority) so it's very easy to explain missing limbs, fingers and teeth...

To be fair, there are a percentage of prisoners who in fact were seized while simply traveling, then were accused of being POW's. Case in point: an American film maker of Iranian descent, while in Iraq, had been arrested while simply riding in a cab, that had been discovered to have been carrying bomb making components, at a military checkout point. He had been held prisoner for years, underwent interrogation, then was promised by the military he would be released only if he signed a confession he had been captured on the battles field - which he refused to do. Eventually, he was freed by government intercession. All that trouble, just because he had wanted to make a documentary on the Persian King Cyrus the Great.

/\ It would really make a lot of sense NOT to be in or around Iraqi or Afghanistan during the post 9/11 operations unless on official US or allied government business.

But remember, the Bush administration had promoted the notion of investment and business ventures in Post Saddam Hussein Iraq. It just seems to me that guy was taking advantage of a US government suggestion.

How Paul Wolfowitz Authorized Human Experimentation at Guantánamo

Last week, Truthout published an important article by Jason Leopold, Truthout’s Deputy Managing Editor, and psychologist and blogger Jeffrey Kaye, revealing, for the first time, a secret memorandum dated March 25, 2002, approved by deputy defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz, which authorized human experimentation on detainees in the “War on Terror.” The release of the memo followed some little-noticed maneuvering in Congress in December 2001, when the requirement of “informed consent” in any experimentation by the Defense Department (introduced in 1972) was quietly dropped. - See more at: http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2010/1 ...
