Red Cross cites U.S. abuse at Guantanamo
Topics: War on Terror - the issues.This is our most ridiculous item in the news today.
WASHINGTON,
Nov. 30 (UPI) -- The International Committee of the Red Cross has
charged the U.S. military intentionally abused prisoners at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, the New York Times said.
The report came after a visit by a Red Cross inspection team that spent most of last June in Guantanamo. In July, the confidential report was distributed to lawyers at the White House, Pentagon and State Department and to the commander of the detention facility at Guantanamo, Gen. Jay Hood. The New York Times recently obtained a memorandum based on the report that quotes from it in detail.
The team said some doctors and other medical workers at Guantanamo participated in planning for interrogations, in what the report called "a flagrant violation of medical ethics."
The report said interrogators had devised a system to break the will of the prisoners at Guantanamo, who now number about 550, and make them wholly dependent on their interrogators through "humiliating acts, solitary confinement, temperature extremes (and) use of forced positions."
Asked about the accusations, a Pentagon spokesman provided a statement saying, "The United States operates a safe, humane and professional detention operation at Guantanamo that is providing valuable information in the war on terrorism." Source...
Beheadings, the severing of arms, legs, and hands, electric shock, throwing prisoners off building roofs, and beating prisoners - all done by terrorists, Islamists, and dictators like Saddam Hussein, are abuses of prisoners; "psychological abuse, humiliating acts, solitary confinement, and temperature extremes conducted by the U.S. military is called interrogation of dangerous people that want to murder innocent civilians, not prisoner abuse. Leave it to the far-left liberal mindset of the New York Times and some leaders of the American Red Cross to call what our military is conducting at Guantanamo Bay as torture or prisoner abuse. Perhaps instead of our military having to "toy" with the Guantanamo prisoners, let them be handed-over to the Egyptian or Jordanian governments under CIA supervision for some "real" interrogation.
Wake up New York Times and the American Red Cross, these people want to kill us, our children, our mothers and fathers, our friends, our brothers and sisters; these are not nice people and we cannot play liberal-preferred games with them. Their agenda is the death of America and the birth of Islamic Sharia law in our country. We cannot stop them by asking them politely what issues they had as children to cause them to want to kill Americans. We have to kill them first! To do that, we need information and it is just too bad if they have to sit in an uncomfortable position for a while in order to get them to talk.
