US detainee 'mentally tortured'
A Pakistani-born US resident detained at Guantanamo Bay has said he was "mentally tortured" there, according to a transcript released by the Pentagon.
Majid Khan, who has been accused of planning to blow up petrol stations in the US, also described how he tried to commit suicide by chewing on an artery.
Mr Khan presented a Statement of Torture to the US military tribunal reviewing his "enemy combatant" status.
[...]
Mr Khan's personal representative read out a written statement, in which he alleged psychological torture.
"I swear to God this place in some sense worst than CIA jails. I am being mentally torture here," he said.
"There is extensive torture even for the smallest of infractions."
Mr Khan complained about how US guards had taken away pictures of his daughter, given him new glasses with the wrong prescription, shaved his beard off, forcibly fed him when he went on hunger strike, and denied him the opportunity for recreation.
This led him to attempt to chew through his artery twice, Mr Khan said.
Later, Mr Khan produced a list of further examples of psychological torture, which included the provision of "cheap, branded, unscented soap", the prison newsletter, noisy fans and half-inflated balls in the recreation room that "hardly bounce".

How far have we fallen that we would feed someone who was hungry, and torture them with unscented brand-name soap to the point where the poor souls were so confused they didn't see a contradiction in suggesting they weren't given opportunities for recreation while mentioning they had a recreation room with clearly inferior sporting equipment?? I blame YOU, the criminal misadministration of King George the W!

This topic is merely deflecting attention from the economic and political progress that has been made in Iraq.

That's why you carry around a car cigarette-lighter-powered portable inflator in your trunk. ;)

This guy is ruining it. They obviously DID NOT torture him.
But that isn't to say it goes on:

Hope you like the designer soap and state-of-the-art recreational equipment in The Hague, WAR CRIMINAL!!!

No seriously--I really hope you like them. If not we could always order according to your exact needs? But you may have to wait a couple of days for shipping and assembly, our apologies; please accept this complimentary bottle of wine as a symbol of our deep regret. And if there's anything else you need, please don't hesitate to ask.

The accommodations are simply DREADFUL here at the Hague, boys. I have to share a bathroom with a man who keeps shouting "Die mie mao!", the magazines are all two months old, and although I've been provided with internet access, IT IS 56K.
The horror... the horror...
