You're right, I haven't read anything you posted since I've read the same thing from other leftists already. Do you have anything to offer that's different than the typical leftist rant about how evil America is?

"Sign this document": "One day, they brought this document to me and told me to sign it. For example, there were sentences saying that I would guarantee that I would not get involved in terrorist activities. I told them I never did anything like that anyway, and I would not sign it. I was told that I would not be able to get out of there if I did not sign it. Then they packed my bags and sent me back to Germany."

Quotation marks without a point of reference make a statement factual in exactly the same way that hazard lights flashing on a car make it okay to double park and block the street. (hate that, btw.)

Just saying.

And I can tell you that I was 2 miles off of Cuba itself several times and never stepped foot on Cuban soil. Does that mean its true because I (John Q. Public) wrote it? Or was I in Cuba?

alright then if you want be to be spefic then the quote was stated by Murat Kurnaz's

Murat Kurnaz (born March 19, 1982 in Bremen, Germany) was held in extrajudicial detention and claims to have been tortured[1] in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba for four years. Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen and legal resident of Germany, was in the process of becoming a German citizen when he was arrested in Pakistan in late 2001. His detainee ID number is 61. After being imprisoned for five years he was released and arrived in Germany August 24, 2006.[2]

Kurnaz is one of the detainees who has alleged that he was subject to interrogation techniques that included suffocation by drowning, sexual humiliation, beatings, heat or cold and the desecration of his religion.

an FBI agent was quoted as saying, "On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they had urinated or defecated on themselves and had been left there for 18, 24 hours or more."

Oh c'mon, he has a point - can he not be given the opportunity to present his side of the argument for fear of running foul of half the boards Americans at once?

LET 'IM SPEAK, if he makes a fool of 'imself, grand, tear him open in a debate, but don't do this cheap gang up that happens all to often when someone tries to make an unpopular point.

I hear that the US government's primary source of intellectual inspiration is loons wearing orange jumpsuits, right before e-petitions and 9/11 conspiracy forums.

Nevertheless, if the evidence against a person is strong, then I don't see why they aren't tried properly and promptly, like any other suspected PieceOfS.
