Thread: Guantanamo disgrace... show your stories here.

It should be quite obvious that Guantanamo Bay is little more than an interrogation centre where "suspected" terrorists can be held for years if not indefinitely and be subjected to ongoing psychological torture in an effort to break them down and obtain confessions and information. Solitary confinement, blaring music, bright lights 24/7, sleep deprivation and regular body searches etc may not constitute the us legal definition of torture. However when such things are carried on for years on end day in and day out with no hope of ever ceasing and no one able to help, such inhumane treatment does in fact become a very severe form of psychological torture.

Unfortunately, for the victims many of those imprisoned by the US as suspected terrorists were detained for years before being released without charge after it was found they were of no value to the US military.
And unfortunately for the US military, the evidence gained via such methods of psychological torture would not be accepted in a normal court of the USA.

These farcical military tribunals are simply the end game re what to do with these detainees once it has been deemed they have given up all the information they have. The US military could not convict these detainees (or at least the vast majority of them) in a normal court. So they have arranged their own version of a justice system with their own biast rules to ensure they gain convictions and justify their own criminal actions.
