Gitmo detainee alleges horrifying “mental torture”
posted at 9:10 pm on May 15, 2007 by Bryan
I can’t write a post detailing America’s shame better than Marisol has already written it, so I won’t bother. But be forewarned–the allegations are beyond awful. The word “crap” is even used.
It’s that bad.

Your headline made me think they were being forced to watch endless loops of moms and dads and brothers and sisters and sons and daughters jumping off the WTC rather than burn alive.
But then, to my horror, I realized that they were being denied scents in their soap. No scented Rove Soap On A Rope for Allah’s children! Be ashamed America. Be very ashamed.

If he thinks what he has gone through so far is torture, I can’t wait to hear what he has to say when they start piping in C-SPAN (featuring Nancy and Teddy and the gang).

We should put them out of their misery, NOW!

So I take it that these guys are being treated worse than our 3 missing soldiers?
/sarcasm
I hope Bush has the balls to kill 10 of them at Gitmo if one of ours is killed.

Just wait till they start enforcing the new Sheryl Crow rule at Gitmo,… oh wait, they don’t use it anyways.

A ball that doesn’t bounce….. the horror, the horror.
Buzzy on May 15, 2007 at 9:57 PM
What’s next, no ice cream?! Oh the horror!
Profitsbeard, I second that notion!

We don’t use any kind of torture. What is torture is hearing about Gitmo prisoners complaining. They deserve torture, but it won’t happen.

I saw the complaint about the unscented deodorant, but I think you may be reading it wrong (but maybe it’s me). I don’t think the complaint is that he wanted a scent, I think it’s that he didn’t want deodorant at all. And I’m not just saying that in the “middle easterners stink” stereotype, I honestly think that they probably oppose deodorant for one reason or another (which is why they stink).

Tony7373-
There are plenty of underprivileged sharks swimming off the Cuban coast who would appreciate the gesture of our guys catapulting suffering jihadis into their midst.
A win-win.
(Or is that fin-fin?)

Damn……I can’t understand why my kids never turned me in to Child Protective Services. GITMO would have been Disneyland for em’. No wonder they hardly call me anymore.

The only thing I hate worse than frigging Al Qaeda terrorists lying about being tortured is whiny yuppie Al Qaeda terrorists who don’t even know what torture is. This is the lamest complaint of terror I’ve ever heard: “The American infidels served me spaghetti that was not cooked al dente! It was TORTURE! The bottled water was not Evian! And the accordian muzak in the interrogation cell nearly drove me berserk!”
Tantor on May 15, 2007 at 11:15 PM
Well Laudy Fricken Dah!
Don’t do the terror if you can’t do the time.

Playing them the largest of the string instruments, as the violin is too small for these whiners. Seeing the picture/caption of those two rats/scum of this Earth made me sick.

You know, I hear the orange juice is from concentrate (not fresh-squeezed). Also, why is Reid barefoot in the pic? What, no slippers…?
I’m outraged!
CliffHanger on May 15, 2007 at 11:44 PM
At first I thought we were making them listen to endless tracks of Susan Estrich reading Maureen Dowd articles aloud. That would be torture.
As one of the people responsible for creating The Gitmo Cookbook, I had to laugh when I read that – because I eat Gitmo food all the time and it’s actually pretty good. :-)

If they’re lacking entertainment may I suggest Nirvana’s Bleach album 24/7/11
Buck Turgidson on May 16, 2007 at 2:07 AM
I agree.
The torture must stop.
We should end it. Pump a bullet into the skulls of each of these f*ckers and ship their corpses back with a dead pig sharing their body bags.

That is just terrible!
I never realized that the inmates were undergoing such unspeakable horrors and unspeakable, agonizing torture!
Release them all, immediately!
No scented soap or scented shampoo?
A ball that does not bounce well?
Spots on the wall left by cleaners?
What horrific torture and abuse!!!!
How disgusting!
And they were neglected and were not even allowed to be stretched on the rack, beaten with bamboo canes or bull whipped, hung by their toes or their testicles, or enjoy the excruciating torture of electrocution?
They were not even permitted the decency of having their limbs severed, or their throats slit from ear to ear as they and their friends gladly and freely do to others?
They were not even allowed to be martyred, or to wear a bomb belt and blow themselves up?
Oh, the humanity!

I respectfully disagree, george.
Why waste taxpayer’s money by injecting a bullet into these poor martyrs for Allah?
I think they should have time for lunch. Save the money and allow them to swim with the sharks, thus becoming lunch for the sharks.
Oh, wait!
That would be cruel and unusual punishment, for the sharks, who would undoubtedly suffer intense indigestion, or even die from some horrific illness upon devouring these poor, abused Jihadis.

Think about it a sec.
James on May 16, 2007 at 7:36 AM
Isn’t the unscented soap and deodorant more cruel against the guards?
ej_pez on May 16, 2007 at 9:17 AM
I’ll donate a box of .45 FMJ.
Buck Turgidson on May 16, 2007 at 10:08 AM
Right. No shoes for the Shoebomber!
CliffHanger on May 16, 2007 at 12:49 PM
So, basically he’s saying its just like staying at a Motel 6?
Fatal on May 16, 2007 at 1:43 PM
Mmmm…. fragrant. Ship ‘em back on the slow boat to enhance the odor?
:-) Excellent point, sir. However I am also obligated to point out that, by controlling the precise moment when the pig flesh and the bullet both touch this particular jihadi, it is possible to deflect this individual from Paradise to the Muslim version of Hell. No Paradise, no martyrdom. Problem solved!
Not that this is really what will happen anyhow, since – as pointed out on another thread – there’s no way this guy’s making it to the real Paradise, since he’s obviously hijacked the Great Religion, and what he’s doing goes against the peaceful ROP’s teachings. Just to be sure I double-checked this w/a bona fide spokesperson for the ROP, and they confirmed it for me, honest! ;-)
