What has been done to this man is a disgrace. More than a disgrace. How can a society consider itself civilized when this is allowed to be a part of its justice system?

<<The Foreign Office yesterday said it would back the attempt by the father of a Briton held in Guantánamo Bay to visit his son, signalling the government's tougher approach to the US, the Guardian has learned.
The government will support Azmat Begg's attempt to visit his son Moazzam with a psychiatrist and doctor.

Mr Begg has not seen his son for over two years, since he was pulled from his bed in Pakistan and accused by the US of being a terrorist who had visited Afghanistan. His family say he was involved in charity work.

The US is believed to have held Mr Begg, 35, from Birmingham, in a windowless room for months and to have denied him human contact after he started talking to his guards
