Ex-Gitmo prisoner: US tortured me with needles, IV tubes

"A former prisoner held at Guantanamo Bay says he was never interrogated about the reason the US said they’d arrested him for — even after seven years in captivity.

He also provided a graphic account of new elements of what may be considered “ad-lib” torture — guards inappropriately using hypodermic needles and IV tubes intended for forced feeding during hunger strikes.

He further said he was kept awake for 16 days straight — which was often done by splashing detainees eyes with cold water when they nodded off in their cell under bright lights. The account was published by ABC News.

The former detainee, Lakhdar Boumediene, is now in France with his family. He was never charged. Was it torture? an ABC News reporter asked.

“I don’t think. I’m sure,” he replied."

1. this sucks
I don't want to be associated with any of the bush/cheney war criminals. Everyone who knows me knows I was against this mistake from the very beginning, long before the bushilter and darth were installed. I knew what was coming, just not the details. I want that we do something with this war criminal cabal that is satisfactory to the wronged by them.
