This is more of the black prison and torture story., i.e. how the democracy flag-wavers
really operate. The prisoners were
told to confess that they were members of alkaida,
told to confess that they'd been in training camps and so on.
Re Guantanamo - There were reports too of researchers going to Afghanistan to obtain witness testimony against Gitmo prisoners, in exchange for new shoes for the witnesses. I'll dig up the link.*
I also heard this morning that the UN is pulling out its staff. I'd say some kind of US-coalition strike or retreat is imminent. The Karzai (CIA warlord/druglord) legitimate reelection went downhill - the November 7 vote is off the calendar with Abdullah not agreeing to run in a new election.
