Help Needed
I'm debating a few RWers on ICQ right now about Guantanamo Bay - whether or not it's a torture camp and prisoners are being held as POWs. Does anyone happen to have a list of some of the torture-like practices from Guantanamo? It'd be helpful.

A lot of arguments have been easily debunked. One of them actually said, quote: "The enemy doesn't recognise the Geneva convention , so why should the American government do so in this case ?" But one asked "what 'torture-like activities' are going on at Guantanamo", so I thought I'd ask any DUers out there who are more knowledgable about this issue than I. It's not that I don't know anything about this issue. I just thought I'd nuke the RWers with all the examples of torture going on there.

I'm on the Current Events board, debating in the "Guantanamo suicides were 'act of war'" thread, as user "Ringo", if anyone cared.

Thanks in advance!
Ringo

1. After all the hoo-hah about the Koran in the toilet
I believe it was later admitted as being true. Newsweek just got the name of the command group wrong.

4. Hey
Thanks for the help! I'll dance at your wedding.

"Tyvec" is the good guy. "The Duke" and "Spufi" are the RWers - though I think that "Spufi" is worse than "The Duke".

I go on about the 9/11 victims and ask why these people want to hurt innocent people in their names.
