As soon as you say Drudge Report I give it about as much credibility as a news conference by Bagdad Bob.

I've no doubt the testimonial is authentic. It's a shame that such methods were used. The current administration should stand international trial for violations of human rights. The full extent of the scandal has yet to be exposed.

Why exactly? And I fail to see the humor in 'Bagdad Bob'.

The testimonial may be authentic Timechange, but we need to remember that there are two sides to every story. This is a prison camp so conditions will be less than ideal.
There have been independent visits.
We won't know the real truth because I doubt very much that either side of this story are trustworthy.

I understand the sensitivity of the subject, since the entire Camp X concept started with the terrorist attacks of 9-11. However, this does not justify the methods used.

By the way, the US military have received training in the above methods from the Turkish secret police.

Want to be educated in the methods? See "Midnight Express", a movie made 30 years ago.

I've seen the movie many times. The tactics used at camp xray are nothing new and certainly not exclusive to the US military.

The only problem I have with camp xray is the hypocrisy of holding this amount of people captive without formal charges.
