The United States has dismissed as "full of inaccuracies" a United Nations report that says the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay amounts to torture. snip

"We told them that Guantanamo should be closed definitively," he said.

"We indicated that some interrogation techniques being used were prohibited by the Convention Against Torture and we gave concrete examples.

"We also indicated that the prohibition of cruel, degrading and human punishment applied to any activity on foreign territory and not only within the United States. We also indicated that secret prisons were banned by the convention."
