   Wish I could find the article done by a psychologist reporting on a victim of Guantanamo abuse. His family says he is not the same person, he believes he has done things wrong that he has no knowledge of and sometimes beats himself up. Sounds like a house elf...

      scary to think that they can accuse people without a trial and just lock them away then do that to them. then if later they realize the person was innocent, well all those years are lost, and how can you ever make up for torturing someone?

         One of the Brits there confessed, under 'interrogation', to being in an Al Qaeda training camp. One little problem. He was in fact working in a retail electrical store at the time. How do we know that? Because MI5 or Special Branch had him under surveillance. Ah, you say, then he must be guilty of something. Not so. MI5 and Special Branch put some people under surveillance because they're associates of someone with very high security clearance who know Top Secret Stuff, they put other people under surveilance because they know some suspect people. (Both of these things are fine by me.)
         
         7th direction, the Brits who've come home from Gitmo are basically OK now, I believe, but the British residents may not be.

      see this is why im conflicted with the death penalty.
      
      the thing is - is torture really appropriate in any case? let alone torturing people without a trial? or even torturing people after a trial?
      
      do we really have a right to torture, maim, or kill someone? isnt that how we are judging them? as torturers, killers etc?
      
      i find the whole thing really fucked up. there have been innocent people that have been tortured, and that is disturbing, because what if someday its you or your family members that get mistaken for being on the wrong side? yeah i know, most people feel comforted and think it will never be them.
