British resident details torture in Guantanamo

[struggle4progress]

A British resident has asserted he was tortured by U.S. guards at the Guantanamo Bay military base, suffering violent sexual assaults, near drowning and an attack in which he was blinded.

The Independent on Sunday (IoS) was been given a detailed account from Omar Deghayes of repeated abuse by American and Pakistani interrogators over the past three years including electric shocks and sodomy by U.S. guards.

The allegations, made by human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, have persuaded several British ministers to take up Deghayes's case.

In some of the most disturbing allegations to emerge from Guantanamo, Deghayes accuses U.S. and Pakistani interrogators of beating him repeatedly since his arrest three years ago, smearing his face with human excrement, starving him of food, and withdrawing light and clothing. <snip>

Homosexual marriage, never! Sodomy without consent, well, maybe sometimes ...

3. This is exactly

what I suspected went on there. A free-zone for sadists. The whole camp should be demolished, but that wouldn't solve the problem either, the CIA will just fly the prisoners to staunch allies Pakistan and Egypt and torture them there.

4. Why is it always sodomy?

Seems to me that whenever Bush or his evil minions are looking for a torture technique, sodomy always comes to mind. Wonder why that is? Hmm....

My take is these sexually repressed and warped little pieces of offal get their jollies by engaging in sadism. Sick!!
