Torture

According to recent disclosures in a Justice Department audit -

- constant cell changes meant to disrupt prisoners' rest and lower their resistance to interrogations.

- routinely are blasted with loud musicincluding the one in Meow Mix cat-food commercials and "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" by the heavy-metal band Drowning Pool.

- threats to send detainees to countries thought to use torture.
Ex. One Guantánamo prisoner was taken on a long boat ride meant to trick him into believing he'd been handed over to another government.

- sleep deprivation or disruption
Ex: one Uighur detainee claimed that the night before his interrogation by Chinese officials he was awakened at 15-minute intervals the entire night and into the next day and also claimed that he was exposed to low room temperatures for long periods of time and was deprived of at least one meal.

- prolonged shackling

- stress positions

- isolation

- use of bright lights



Torture, like that used on: James Brandon, Keith Maupin, Kenneth Bigley, Nicholas Berg, Paul Johnson Jr, Kim Sun-il, Daniel Perle, Tom Fox. My guess, and it is JUST a guess - they would prefer shackling, mising one meal, isolation, bright lights, sleep deprivation, loud music, to the fate each suffered. They had no lawyer nor appeal, no doctors, no cooks, no right to visitation.

The argument is, the US holds itself to standards, they do not. That is exactly the answer - you cannot defeat them by hugging them. If you believe you can, you are an absolute fool who should immediately leave on a goodwill mission to Afghanistan and watch which leaves you first - your political ideology, or your life.
