Obama 'whitewash' can't repay prison horror: ex-inmate

2009-01-26

United States President Barack Obama's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Centre is a mere whitewash, Muhammad Saad, a former inmate, said on Sunday.

Saad said Obama has to apologise to the prisoners, to their families and their societies. "They have to apologise to the Muslim world and a whole generation. That's the least he could do. He should pledge these atrocities will never be repeated and compensate those who suffered any kind of torture."

Maybe you should apply under the TARP program, they have plenty of money ...

Pakistani security officials say ex-inmates are subject to strict police vigilance and most of the more than 60 Pakistanis who have been released are monitored by law enforcement agencies. "They (the Americans) have destroyed so many lives. They have turned intelligent, healthy human beings into vegetables," Saad said.

what does Saad have to say about the released folks that went back to Al Qaeda? Should they apologize and compensate?

#10 Apologize for what?

Protecting our way of life from some knuckle dragging, sociopaths and borderline personalities....maybe even antisocial personality disorder.......

I think the word on the street is that catch and release days are over. Catch em ,question em and kill em....oh and wrap the carcasses in pig hide and spray them with bacon grease.

If Ogabe does these things, I suspect his approval rating might tick down just a little.

IIUC Obama has issued an executive order banning use of interrogation techniques not in the Army Field Manual in CIA facilities.

I wonder how long till someone catches the implicit loophole.

#7 There's a simple solution, quit taking them prisoner. High level operatives only, and just until we 'extract' the info we need out of them.
