I would consider terrorist POW's because we are "At War with Terror".
I don’t know, looks to be explained. I have a feeling there is something else to this whole story than meets the eye.
All these thing that where done are minds games. This kinda stuff has probably been used by all nations for ever, it just now in the information age we happen to see pictures of it.

Some examples of 'standard torture' they had to undergo: for 40 days, they were exposed to constant light and guards were making noise by drumming on containers. If they looked an american soldier in the eyes, they had to stay in the full sun on their knees for 12 hours, next time is was 24 hours. Their hands and ancles were twice the size because they were constantly wearing coves (sp?).
Though to swallow if you're innocent.
I understand they want to get their information as fast as possible, and saying please won't help much indeed. But you could pose some questions on the ways they gather their information. Like the 'exposing to noise and light', when does the standard procedure become torture? After 40 days i wouldn't call it standard procedure anymore. And what the hell could a regular soldier have for valuable information i wonder? And lots of other questions.
They rerun the documentary right now i notice, see if they show anything else interesting.
*146 Guantanamo prisoners are released atm, prolly innocent otherwise they wouldn't have been released*
*they lined the prisoners up, then released the dogs. jeej*
*Geneva convention says: respect for physical and psychological side of the prisoners. Those photos say something different*
*Guantanamo prisoners aren't Prisoners Of War, but terrorists according to america, so they have no rights
. That's just playing with words, that's like saying 'i plomise' and not keeping your promise, you didn't have to because you didn't say the exact word.**These pictures could feed the hatred against the western world, more terrorst attacks maybe, that's what we needed*

The thing with the loud music, hell they did that to us in basic training. lol,it sucked but it wasn’t torture.
And then there is the picture of the guy wearing a hood, standing on a wooden box with wires attached to his fingers. They told him that if he steps off the box he will get shocked. Ummm.... thats not torture. Thats a method of extracting information. I mean how else are you supposed to get information out of a POW? Say please?
Based on more information Im hearing in the news and radio, these sound all like standard procedures. ALTHOUGH!
I did hear something on the radio today about the women who took the pictures. Supposedly, her dad is a homicide detective and her mom is a forensics specialist, and someone interviewed the parents and they said that shes used to those kinds of images because they used to show her pictures from work all the time. The women took her own picture with a corpse!
