My Hell In Camp X-Ray

Wow:

A BRITISH captive freed from Guantanamo Bay today tells the
world of its full horror - and reveals how prostitutes were taken into
the camp to degrade Muslim inmates.
Jamal al-Harith, 37, who arrived home three days ago after two years of
confinement, is the first detainee to lift the lid on the US regime in
Cuba's Camp X-Ray and Camp Delta.
The father-of-three, from Manchester, told how he was assaulted with
fists, feet and batons after refusing a mystery injection.
[...]
He said detainees were shackled for up to 15 hours at a time in hand
and leg cuffs with metal links which cut into the skin.
Their "cells" were wire cages with concrete floors and open to the
elements - giving no privacy or protection from the rats, snakes and
scorpions loose around the American base.
He claims punishment beatings were handed out by guards known as the
Extreme Reaction Force. They waded into inmates in full riot-gear,
raining blows on them.
Prisoners faced psychological torture and mind-games in attempts to
make them confess to acts they had never committed. Even petty breaches
of rules brought severe punishment.
Medical treatment was sparse and brutal and amputations of limbs were
more drastic than required, claimed Jamal.
