Prisoners about to be released attack Gitmo guards

Let's be clear about this: These are men about to go home, who have been in the "Easy Street" portion of prison, and are considered compliant. Then, as their release date draws near, they attack their captors.

The conclusions I draw from this are either they don't want to go home because they know their mother country will kill them, or they like it in Gitmo, or they really are Al Qaida terrorists and have simply managed not to be discovered up to this point.

Just goes to show you can't trust those A-rab Muzzies. Now go ahead, you peacenik terrorist apologists on this board, do your kneejerk twitch and defend them with every fiber of your being. And don't forget to turn it around and blame Bush & Co. for being the real cause of all this.

Shadowrelm et al, I await your response.

Gitmo is a national failure.

It has garnered little to no intelligence and tarnished the United States reputation and credibility.

You have zero evidence of that, Bhodi. Zero.

I've linked this before but its a documentary done on Gitmo by PBS. Very well done.

I believe they have streaming video of the program which is an hour or two long.

Of course.

Because a person who has been falsely imprisoned and interrogated without due process for several years on end would have absolutely NO reason to want to attack his captors and tormentors other than that he's a terrorist.

It's a little like the drowning test that was once used for detecting witches, innit?

So it makes alot of sense, doesn't it, Ambrya, to attack your captors just before you're to be released? Your line of reasoning is faulty to the extreme.

Gbaji will muddy the argument by trying to argue that 'abuse' and 'torture' are different.

All I can do is bring up the Army Investigation of the 'abuse' of Detainee #7 in Abu Ghraib (which used techniques pioneered in Gitmo)

"made to bark like a dog, being forced to crawl on his stomach while MP's spit and urinated on him, and being struck causing unconsciousness. On another occasion Detaine-07 was tied to a window in his cell and forced to wear womens underwear on his head. On yet another occasion Detainee-07 was forced to lie down while MP's jumped onto his back and legs. He was beaten with a broom and a chemical light was broken and poured over his body. During this abuse a police stick was used to sodomize Detainee-07 and two female MP's were hitting him, throwing a ball at his ***** and taking photographs."

If you had been held indefinitely without trial and been randomly abused for 3 years and were finally getting out are you telling me you would just suck it up and say "I understand you got the wrong guy."?

Nothing like using ones command of speech to denigrate and dehumanize ones enemies in order to justify committing atrocities.

Bah. Stuck servers....

Nevermind that the Bush administration has technically redefined torture in legal terms to such a narrow spectrum that it is almost impossible to commit.
