You would think that 2 years in Gitmo he could come up with more believable lies. Sheesh...

"The website designer, a convert to Islam, had gone to Pakistan in October 2001, a few weeks after September 11, to study Muslim culture.

He accidentally strayed into Afghanistan - believing he was being driven to Turkey - and was arrested as a spy, perhaps because of his British passport. He was held in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and fell into US hands."


I'm sorry but can we please codify blatant stupidity as a crime? Do not go to Pakistan or Afghanistan within a month of the largest single atrocity every committed by Al Queda and expect to "study" anything other than how to duck and cover when the bombs start falling.

I got a good chuckle out of the part where the dog had more rights than he did. Cruel treatment to the dog to keep him penned next to slime like that.

"A diet of foul water and food up to 10 years out-of-date left inmates malnourished. "

Too good for them.

Prisoners faced psychological torture and mind-games in attempts to make them confess to acts they had never committed. Even petty breaches of rules brought severe punishment.

Medical treatment was sparse and brutal and amputations of limbs were more drastic than required, claimed Jamal.

A diet of foul water and food up to 10 years out-of-date left inmates malnourished.

Sounds like he joined the Army.

The men would return distraught. One said an American girl had smeared menstrual blood across his face in an act of humiliation.

YUMMY !!! ;-))

The fruit had been frozen and pounded with chemicals.

So they gave them "Fruit Rollups." I guess he wanted "Cosmic shapes" in electric yellow.

And the newspaper accepts this all at face value, does not (apparently) even seek confirmation from other sources. And I keep reading letters-to-the-editor from liberals extolling the objectivity of the European press.

This is exactly why the folks at DU are buying it.

After a while, we stopped asking for human rights - we wanted animal rights. In Camp X-Ray my cage was right next to a kennel housing an Alsatian dog. "He had a wooden house with air conditioning and green grass to exercise on. I said to the guards, 'I want his rights' and they replied, 'That dog is member of the US army'.

Geeze, if ever there was a use for pigs in our armed forces...(and I'm not talking about the kind that Muslims see with veils around their heads)!

Some people were given pizzas, ice-cream and McDonald's

Can anyone comment on the availablity of MickeyDs Big Macs in Gitmo? Do the Cuban contractors bring them into the base from Santiago or are they sent on a special flight from Miami? Do our guys gets these treats also, or are they reserved for British prisioners?

When I did meet the other Brits, we would reminisce about home - particularly the food.

This, IMHO, is proof that he is lying.....

Vivid imagination this fellow has. The menstrual blood and the doghouse are nice touches.

I'm really surprised there wasn't an incident involving pigs thrown in there somewhere.

He accidentally strayed into Afghanistan - believing he was being driven to Turkey - and was arrested as a spy, perhaps because of his British passport. He was held in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and fell into US hands.

My understanding of this is that he had been jailed by the TALIBAN. We actually rescued him from a TALIBAN prison...

I believed his charges up to the point that he claimed that we made him "walk to school each day, in the snow, up hill both ways..."
