Denbeaux "report on Guantanamo detainees" says we have not begun to shine a light on the facts...

turned his back on this man. Brits have nothing to be proud of either. Plenty of shame to go around.

I couldn't watch, I may still not be able to watch, it breaks my heart.

be prepared to be pissed off at what's being done in our name. :mad:

Thanks for the thread.

OMG, does this just not make you sick? Heartsick? Rumsfeld needs to be locked freakin' up. In Gitmo. With Ablerto, Condi, and *.

that bout sums it up.

:hi:

and nominated

while they were detained I've been waiting for the longest to learn about what exactly they are doing to those poor people.

to be heard. That one guy seems to be able to get his message across better. They seem like battered women or children.

Not so much on the physical stuff, but you don't have to draw blood for it to be torture.

pictures of it at Abu.

TIA B-)

They are looking for distributor.

Interesting. I wonder how long before it gets here?

Detainees say the movie has a had a great affect on the people who have seen it. Making people aware of what the government is doing in the country's name and in the name of democracy. No details about what's in the movie though.

A timely new British film about the horrors of the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is poised to be the buzz film of the Berlinale this year. "The Road to Guantanamo" screened for press this afternoon at the Berlin International Film Festival and will have its official world premiere tonight at the Berlinale Palast in Potsdamer Platz. The provocative new film is debuting at the festival on the same day that a draft report from the United Nations made news around the world, accusing the U.S. of torture at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and calling for either trials or the release of detainees there.

lots more

took place when the Koran was mocked, ridiculed, thrown on the floor, ripped, thrown into toilet.

were turned in by Pakistan or others that found fliers dropped by U.S.Gov't....basically they were sold to military.(didn't mean they did anything)

I know someone that served over there at the time, sounds too familiar to the stories I've heard, I'm ashamed.

This isn't the America I remember. This isn't the world I remember. So many lives are being needlessly fucked up and why? Why? Is it just greed? I don't understand. Not in my name.

on edit: thanks, I tuned in late and have had multiple interruptions. Not to mention it took me a few minutes to find Viva's thread.

when that young lawyer was there; he lived and remains there. He read a note that he gave him right before he went to the restroom and then tried to hang himself. It was gut wrenching.

http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/schedule.csp I'll look for it but I'm not sure if I can watch it. I've been thinking about an old friend (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2176099&mesg_id=2176237) because of a post yesterday and I'm a little emotionally "exhausted" right now. I don't know if I could take it.

Prayers for your friend and you also....it is so unfair and so hard to understand it all.

So they hold them for months/years without explanation and then don't have the courtesy/cajones to talk to the detainees when they return home. No apology, nothing.

and his female sidekick who shared in his joke? What were they smiling and giggling about?

kind man. Been fighting on the yahoo boards too much, lol. :banghead:

It will be interesting to hear what he has to say

The DoD should explain their actions, starting with pissant Rumsfeld.

Kick!
