On the orders of War Criminal General Tommy Franks
A recently released illegal detainee has exposed the regime of torture in Guantanamo bay while the US justify it by saying ,"It works, you know!" In fact it doesn't "work" if the aim is to prevent the attacks at present raking the world. It does however "work" at intimidating Muslims and makes it impossible for them to pray.
Shah Mohammed (23) kidnapped in Afghanistan by Northern Alliance criminals and sold to the US for US$10,000 eighteen months ago tells a chilling story of torture in Guantanamo Bay concentration camp. He said the majority of the 600 innocent men are deranged and insane as a result of endless hours or interrogation, torture constant bright lights and heavy metal music.
Sgt Mark Hadsell defends the techniques saying, "Trust me, it works". Trust me Mark, it doesn't. Not one piece of intelligence has been tortured out of these men, most of whom have never even heard of Al Qa'ida. Or maybe you would like to tell us which attack in the past eighteen months the US has foiled as a result of the torture taking place in Guantanamo concentration camp?
Childrens songs and heavy metal is blasted at the dog kennels in which the men are held 23hours 45 minutes a day. The soundtrack from the Vin Diesel XXX film and Metallicas "Enter Sandman" are favourites of the US torturers. They seem pleased that music that is "culturally offensive" is deranging men who never heard heavy metal before! What joy there is for infidels to torture true believers?
They may not be able to torture any intelligence from these innocents but they can surely stop them praying and calling their jailers ignorant infidels.
Shah Muhammad says he is considering sueing the US and Tommy "the War Criminal" Franks over his illegal detention and torture for a year and a half.
On May 5th this year G.W. Bush said "Al Qa'ida is on the run. Right now most of all the top Al Qa'ida operatives are either in jail or dead. In either case, they are not a problem anymore". Why then are the UK/US closing embassies and running home to bug and "secure" their own populations?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers shot and killed three Afghan security men and wounded their commander outside the U.S. embassy in Kabul on Wednesday, Afghan security officials said.
The U.S. soldiers guarding the heavily fortified embassy opened fire when they spotted the Afghans moving weapons from a compound opposite the embassy, the officials near the scene said. They described the incident as "a misunderstanding."
Why is anyone stupid enough to team up with American forces these days. You'll only wind up dead, as too many British soldiers found out in Iraq.
Maybe the reason it hasn't worked is that, Al'Quida is a terrorist organisation which uses the standard terrorist cells to orperate, therefore if one guy from one cell is captured, you still don't know what the next cell is trying. Over the last 18 months, the non-captured cells have been able to operate wihtout having to be worried of being foiled in their attacks. The other point is, if you wanna know why you claim there is no- info being gathered, it could be that they haven't released the info. The decision to release info has to be decided on whether it is acceptable to be release it. By allowing the terrorists know that they are being watched, they could do something they had planned as an alternative and also by allowing them to get closer to the operation they have planned the greater the chance you can get more of the higher ecehlons of the organisation.
With regards to the 600 people in Guantanamo Bay, I would doubt if everyone of em was innocent. Noone and I do mean NOONE is going to admit that they are members of a terrorist organisation like the 'base'.
The treatment they are receiving is effective, it works, and quite frankly it is better than the treatment you'd experience at the hands of these terrorist organisations, just ask the IRA!

US torture children at Guantanamo

'juvenile enemy combatants'
It has been admitted that a number of children are being held in Guantanamo bay torture and concentration .
Boys as young as 13 are being held in the US interrogation centre and concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. Col Adolph(!) McQueen, head of the Joint Detention Operation Group says they are dangerous "juvenile enemy combatants" and while special care is being taken with them, they are none the less "dangerous enemy terrorists".
The prison is run by using reservists from the US who are teachers, students etc in everyday life. Female wardens have been heard taunting prisoners. The wardens keep their name tags covered because of fear of recognition or retaliation - paranoid or what? Do they think the Afghan Boy Scouts are going to retaliate?
Maj Gen Geoffrey Miller, says only that the boys "have both information of value to the United States and are threats to this nation". We'll be looking forward to this information when it is finally "extracted" from these children. It will make it the first piece of information about "terrorism" discovered by torture in Guantanamo.
America the proud, you have to love it!
