#1 <<< tortured in medieval ways >>>

Yep. He would know from personal experience, having embraced a pre-medieval, stone age culture.

#2 (ABC News)- With a buy it says is in the mid six figure range, the group Military Families United says it will launch a new TV ad, as soon as tomorrow night, on national cable stations.

The add features no spoken words, but rather very spooky music and images of court documents as these words are typed on the screen:"Binyam Mohamed. Enemy Combatant #1458. Alias: Talba al Kini, Fouad Zouaoui, Binyam Ahmed Mohammad, John Samuels.

"Trained in Al-Qaeda camps to use weapons and create explosives. Given money by Al-Qaeda leaders to fly to the United States. Arrested trying to leave Pakistan.

"In February 2009: Enemy Combatant #1458, RELEASED."

The screen goes black.

#3 But the President feels confident that the process that his administration has undertaken will yield results that keep us safer."

#4 but all charges brought against him have been dropped and he has never been tried.

Making him innocent. Like the guy the WaPo featured, who was released from Gitmo and went home, innocent as the driven snow, until he blew himself up, taking 13 innocents with him.

#6 Tortured in medieval ways: they forced him to listen to Gregorian music.

Totured in modern ways: they forced him to listen Madonna's music.

#10 My only comment :

Bulgarian nurses in Libya - The torture - life in hell

I'm sure rape by dog is not featured at Gitmo.

#12 He meant medieval mental torture - the kind that doesn't leave visible scars.
