#2 This guy is lying his ass off for the most part (especially about "physical abuse"), and for the rest of it, he has been, as we call it, "mind-f**ked" - and believed every bit of it.

The "beatings" he recieved? Those sound like how you handle someone who is violently resisting being handled or moved. Here are the facts:

"Chained up" is probably a leg shackle given the facility there - its highly unlikely he was bound down completelychains - they are very inefficient for that purpose.

Note the body armor, etc, on the guards that he reported, and that they went for the legs - thats the first thing you do to get control of a subject who is physically violent and resistive to being controlled for movement, then you flip them face down, thus the "hitting my back" report.

Basically this guy is reporting a classical handling of a violent resistive prisoner - him.

The "rotten" food? That made me laugh. It isnt what he thoguht it was. But he is led to believe that it is.

A little mislabeling on the packages (MREs possibly - which can live 12 years past the originaltion date), and for the fruit, some food coloring and a harmless "smell" additive...

I guess thats what you get when you have some web weenie that wants to be a terrorist playing in the big leagues, mind-game-wise.

#3 Hadith hails from the Moss Side area of Manchester, apparently. What he describes experiencing in Gitmo sounds like a relatively relaxed weekend passed in that neck of the woods. He really should be thanking the US Government for an all-expenses-paid holiday on sunny Cuba.

#4 Hmm. Could the thought of a $10 million lawsuit lottery have anything to do with this? The lure of Islamic green is so much more attractive when supplemented with American greenbacks.

PS. No more prisoners.

#5 Shudda sent him to Riker Island. The little cupcake would have had a really sweet time with his boyfriends.

#6 I think we need to take him back into custody.
That will solve the problem.
I am sure this violates the terms of his release.

I wonder when we will start seeing AI offices in the US trashed?
