Guantanamo Bay Documents say detainees near insanity

Disgusting. What kind of evil piece of shit does this to another person?

Karma will catch them ALL.

Why must we treat our fellow human beings like this? Even animals don't deserve that kind of treatment. (Not that animals deserve any kind of bad treatment at all... )

Good, he probably deserves it. Let's hear what he did to get in Gitmo. What a biased one sided story! This bastard would be getting no sympathy from anyone if we were to find that he had beheaded someone.

Are you kidding me scoot82?

Even an officer who is constant contact with people who have been suspect of murdering or worse realizes this is inhumane and unjustified.

Why don't you go and figure out why they are in there with no charges made yet? As of now, they are in there for nothing so I don't exactly think this story is unbiased.

No I am not kidding you Sara. When you have arrested terrorists who were trying to blowup your footpatrol with an IED, your perspective changes. They all try to pretend like they weren't doing anything wrong. They all have some bullshit excuse. They all get their battered wives to lie for them. Even when you have solid proof against them. I would rather have one hundred possible terrorists detained, than see one dead American soldier.

People over there don't value life as much as you and I. If you saw how they lived you would understand why.
If they were wearing uniforms when they fought, then they should be given the rights guaranteed by the Geneva conventions. But when they blow you up from a distance and then try to mix in with a crowd (putting innocent civilians-including children-in harms way), then they can all rot in hell.

Break your bubble, get cultured shocked, come back to America, then try to keep all your bullshit utopian ideas. It doesn't work.

I don't have to go two steps from my door for life to be hard, and I still manage to keep my "bullshit utopian ideas".

The average American who respects life "as much as you and I" ran my dad off the freeway for no reason and nearly killed him. He now has significant brain damage and will never work again, not to mention the horrors of visiting him in the hospital. All because some punks thought it would be funny, entertaining. Do I think it would fit for them to rot in a cell with no interaction at all- slowly digressing in insanity until their death? Hell no!

Look around, there is apathy everywhere, not just the Middle East. You don't have to enlist and be handed a gun to experience the horrors of humanity. I think the toughest part is keeping your ideals and extending your compassion and forgiveness to all regardless.

Now our tax money will go for psychiatric treatment for detainees... If whatever we hear is true from Guantanamo Bay, we will owe millions.

Conditions in the American prison system leaves much to be desired, so I can't even imagine the deplorable conditions of a "non-American" prison, in Cuba, with torturers lurking outside one's cell....

There's a difference between detainee and convict.

This is brutal.

I hope none of you americans like traveling because I don't imagine you will be welcome or safe in other countries in the near future.

All of this shit of detaining, torturing and holding prisoners without trial is EVIL. You even have children held there for christ's sake!!!!

You need to STOP IT NOW!!!!

Not complain, not cry, not blog about it. STOP IT!!!

You need to realize that there is a scary mob growing that is called "the rest of the world" and we are getting very fed up with this behavior.

You have been considered "the good guys" for a long time but to even think that americans are the "good guy" anymore is a laughable idea.

You and your government are doing the same shit that THE WORST countries in history have done. But at least those people could say they were ruled by a fascist leader beyond their control.

Your leaders are elected.

The final responsibility lies in the hands of the people. It is a horrible burden but the trade off you make for living in a free society.

Sadly this is the society you have built. You are the worst kind of country imaginable. Evil, untrustworthy, arrogant, violent and hypocritical.

Shame on america and americans.

Our leaders are elected? Yeah, by themselves.

Exactly what do you suggest "we" do to stop it?

well it's the detainees fault for picking up the guns in the first place...serves them right....they started this whole mess in the first place by picking up a gun and trying to kill us.

Meanwhile, GWB and Company continue to keep them "detained" without trials in hopes that US citizens never hear their side of the story.

Only one person held here as been tried and convicted of a crime. That begs the question: What the fuck is this place really for?

some of the responses in here are baffling

Yes now let's release them all
Let's release them all

MK 49 Ultra
Catcher in the rye anyone?

i hope everyone reading this helps spread the word, even if its only voting this article up higher so more people read it. More people need to become aware of what is really going on, and how the rest of the world views it, not just how our government and media spin it to sway our opinions or deny them completely.

I hate this BS.

Leave them there.
