This is sensory deprivation, the first step in mind-control. If this is humane treatment, what is ill treatment? It's a Penal Colony for global dissidents. Interrogation is part of the programme and they've submitted D.N.A. for engineering, cloning, anything...the USA are violating every natural law known to civilized man.

That's much worse than I thought.

Three generations ago the principles of the Geneva
conventions for war were worked out by people who
knew a heck of a lot more about war than we do.
I trust their judgement.

They knew, for example, that the victorious side
does occasionally lose prisoners and wants them to
be properly treated by the enemy.

They also knew that eventually, some time, a war
does end and the resulting mess must be cleared up.
It's easier to clear up if you don't make so much
needless mess in the first place.

Now, the current US policy is that no one takes
an American as a PoW (see Black Hawk Down), and
that this war will never *never* end.

Neither of these are true, but that doesn't seem
to get in the way of current policy. What a sad
sad mess.

sensory deprivation? cloning? exactly how many drugs are you on? i cant say this enough times, all you whackos with your complaints about cloning and magic laser beams and who knows what the hell al else just make trouble for all the people with legitimate concerns and crictisms of what the US is doing. please quit screwing around it is not helping anyone.

A world war was fought to protect the human rights of people everywhere and ensure the rule of democracy, international law, and respect for all. If I was a veteran of the Second World War, alive today and witnessing scenes such as this and the reppression of protesters in the new fascist Italy in Genoa, I would be appauled to think that my friends,and millions of my generation died fighting for freedoms which have been ignored by the current crop of world leaders. It is a shocking indightment of world governments and reminder that the only thing we can learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.

the POWs in USA hands,are going through,PSY_torture.
I wonder if the west would condone this type of situation if it was US or BRIT POWs being ,shackled,gagged,blindfolded,(what is it about global bullies ,need to shave POWs heads?).
WHY CUBA?....THIS SO_CALLED SOCIALIST COUNTRY,
(has anyone told fidel of this)

To make broad and sweeping judgements of how the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are being treated from merely a photograph is foolish. Until actual humanitarian reports come out I don't think anyone should make any wild assumptions.
