The last hard hitting news story that made a deep impression on me was " American Soldier Beaten at Gitmo ". A soldier volunteered to wear an orange jumpsuit and a hood at the request of an officer. Then the was put in a room and declared uncooperative. He was beaten senseless and left with a seizure disorder. Then denied compensation or care. It may still be on Google.

I have often used that story as a reason to close that hellhole.
