The al Jazeera television network posts a transcript, on its English language web site, of a clandestine interview with Mohammad el Gharani, a 21-year-old detainee at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, who has been held prisoner–without charges–since he was 14. Prison guards had given him permission to make a collect call to his family, but instead he called al Jazeera, and told them that he was subject to daily beatings and other abuse, which became worse since the inauguration of Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii).
NOTE: Other abuses that Gharani was subject to included:
- Being shackled to the floor for hours at a time in stress positions;
- Sleep deprivation;
- Being subjected to loud music and strobe lights;
- Being suspended above the floor, from his wrists, for hours at a time;
- Being beaten with batons and teargassed;
- Being doused with freezing cold water;
- Having cigarettes extinguished all over his body;
- Being threatened to have his penis cut off with a pair of scissors.
- The previous January, a couple weeks before the abuse started, a Federal judge ordered el-Gharani released, but he remained incarcerated.
Question: Is it any wonder why they hate us?

While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” U.s. Navy Admiral Dennis C. Blair, Director of National Intelligence, writes in a memo to his staff, “High value information came from interrogations in which those methods [torture] were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qaida organization that was attacking this country.
