Habib stands by torture claims



Mamdouh Habib ... US finds no evidence to support abuse claims. (File photo)

Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mamdouh Habib has disputed the findings of a US inquiry into allegations of prisoner abuse there.
The US Navy has found no evidence of the mistreatment of detainees there.
Mr Habib has reiterated his claims that he was tortured at Guantanamo Bay, including through sleep deprivation and beatings.
He has indicated there were numerous others who were dealt with just as harshly.

"I can't say I've been treated very well," he said.

"There's nobody treated very well, there's nobody treated as a human being.

"They're treated as no humanity at all. And is full of lie."

Heck, - if everything were on the "up and up" so to speak, Gitmo wouldn't even exist.

There's regular abuse in the mainland prisons, so I tremble to imagine what they do, and get away with in Gitmo.

As for the United States investigating themselves, gimme a break . . .

Let the Red Cross in there 24/7, and some reps from the UN - MAYBE the truth will come to light

The US can fool many of it's voters, but the rest of the world KNOWS

I get more disgusted with the US day by day, sorry guys, but it DOES reflect badly even on the decent peeps what ur government does . . .

(sigh)
