Gitmo may challenge the Gulags for attrocities.

New York – TIME has obtained the first documented look inside the highly classified realm of military interrogations since the Gitmo Camp at Guantanamo Bay opened. The document is a secret 84-page interrogation log that details the interrogation of ‘Detainee 063’ at Guantanamo Bay. It is a remarkable look into the range of techniques and methods used for the interrogation of Mohammed al Qahtani, who is widely believed to be the so-called 20th hijacker, a compatriot of Osama bin Laden and a man who had tried to enter the U.S. in August 2001 to take part in the Sept. 11 attacks. TIME’s report, by Adam Zagorin and Michael Duffy, appears in this week’s issue (on newsstands Monday).

...Playing Christina Aguilera Music: After the new measures are approved, the mood in al-Qahtani’s interrogation booth changes dramatically. The interrogation sessions lengthen.

Seeing as how the gulags killed 10 million +, starved, beat, purged... I don't see the connection. At least the gulags led to strip mining of useable raw materials and whatnot. All Gitmo does is make a good testing ground for linguists and mild interrogation tech.
 
Slave strip-mining & electro-shock have nothing over Christina Aguilera music
 
They should move all the detainees to a more secure(hidden) location,
and leave Gitmo as a skeleton for a while. Keep out anyone who is not
military from the new place. (like area 51)
Letting the press in at this point serves no useful purpose.
 
In a forthright & open society (with snitches) it's hard to keep things secret. As it should be.

Why not just move them right to 51?
 
you can't move someone to a place that doesn't exist
that would be a violation of the laws of physics

Sorry, Bish, but maybe some of these candyasses need to learn what "abuse" is. How many of them have been flogged? Had their fingernails removed with pliers? Been boiled in oil? You'll note that terrorists captured by the Pakistanis beg to be turned over to the Americans. :rolleyes: Abused my ass!

Hey. Back off. He's 12% mohawk, y'know. They know all about peeling missionaries, and removing fingernails.

Yup...and some interrogators need to learn what is and isn't acceptable by their own laws.

closer to 33% but we'll let that pass. :)
Let's assume that you mean scalping. Scapling is something done post-mortem. A 'trophy' of war. Like collecting thumbs, ears, or heads on pikes. Not a torture or interrogation method like the rack, boiling in oil, drawing and quartering and flaying..all nice European methods. :)
 
Well there you go.
one is a viable means of information gathering
the other is a primitive savage ritual.
