And then it takes off into big and hairy comments. I'll address the original thread. Given the commitment of the United States to human rights and open inspections of facilities to ensure that UN mandates are being complied with, I'm sure they'll allow open unannounced inspections of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. I mean, they've nothing to hide. Right? There was a previous report from an interpreter that when congress persons came down they would pull out their most cooperative prisoner and have a show interrogation. Similarly when Newsweek had the quote from a source about the Koran being flushed down the toilet the administration and their allies Rathergated it and ignored the American Red Cross and their own Army investigations of many reports of Koran abuse. Degradation of a subjects religion also appears to be part of the SOP in military intel training sessions.
