The Center for Constitutional Rights Gitmo Torture Report (GRAPHIC)
Edited on Wed Jul-19-06 11:33 AM by Harvey Korman
Around March of 2003, O.K. was taken out of his cell at
Camp Delta at approximately 12:00 – 1:00 a.m., and
taken to an interrogation room. An interrogator told O.K.
that his brother was at Guantánamo, and that he should
“get ready for a miserable life.” O.K. stated that he would
answer the interrogator’s questions if they brought his
brother to see him. The interrogator became extremely
angry, then called in military police and told them to cuff
O.K. to the floor. First they cuffed him with his arms in
front of his legs. After approximately half an hour they
cuffed him with his arms behind his legs. After another
half hour they forced him onto his knees, and cuffed his
hands behind his legs. Later still, they forced him on his
stomach, bent his knees, and cuffed his hands and feet
together. At some point, O.K. urinated on the floor and on
himself. Military Police poured pine oil on the floor and on
O.K., and then, with O.K. lying on his stomach and his
hands and feet cuffed together behind him, the Military
Police dragged him back and forth through the mixture of
urine and pine oil on the floor. Later, O.K. was put back
in his cell, without being allowed a shower or change of
clothes. He was not given a change of clothes for two days.


How can we ever wash away these abuses? This is what our country means now. Read the entire report here, if you haven't already (large PDF).
