One man's life in Guatanmo Bay _ how it was he came

[truedelphi]

To be held by American service people, how he was transferred to Guatanamo, in early 2002.

His five year old might be raped, he was told, if he didn't tell them what they wanted him to tell them. At one point he realized he would willingly tell them that he was Bin Laden, if only the torture would stop.

He knew the details of any false confession that he made might land him in prison, but he thought it would be like a Saudi Arabian prison, where even if you' re sentenced to fifteen years, you will get a lot of time off for good behavior, and you will get a lot of time off if you memorize the Koran. Since the USA had a reputation for human rights, he thought that an American prison would not be worse than a Saudi Arabian prison, so when tortured he didn't care what he said to them.

Reading this account made me so ashamed of my country, and of all the officials who brought us to this point.
