Reliable evidence of Gitmo torture

U.N. Experts Say They Have Reliable Accounts of Torture at Guantanamo

GENEVA - U.N. human rights experts said Thursday they have reliable accounts of detainees being tortured at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The experts also said Washington had not responded to their latest request to check on the conditions of terror suspects at the facility in eastern Cuba. That request was made in April.

U.S. officials so far have allowed only the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Guantanamo detainees. The U.N. human rights investigators have been trying to visit since 2002.

The ICRC keeps its findings confidential, reporting them solely to the detaining power, although some of the reports have been leaked by what the ICRC says were third parties.

The U.N. experts would be expected to make a public report.

A U.S. spokeswoman said the U.N. request was being reviewed in Washington.

Never, ever put the UN and 'reliable' in the same sentence.

The above... much truth in it. However that doesn't wipe-away the torture. One of these days you'll come around and face the ugly truth. You just can't handle the awful truth right now. It'll take a little time.

This doesn't take away from our systematic history of torture and human rights abuses in this war.

Right... ;-

Can we talk about it?

What do you mean 'no direct torture'? Did they tortured themselves?

As a matter of fact yes. Most of the injuries at Gitmo was done by themselves or they had other prisoners do it so they could claim abuse.
