"Red Cross Monitors Barred From Guantánamo" by WILLIAM GLABERSON
A confidential 2003 manual for operating the Guantánamo detention center shows that military officials had a policy of denying detainees access to independent monitors from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The manual said one goal was to “exploit the disorientation and disorganization felt by a newly arrived detainee,” by denying access to the Koran and by preventing visits with Red Cross representatives, who have a long history of monitoring the conditions under which prisoners in international conflicts are held. The document said that even after their initial weeks at Guantánamo, some detainees would not be permitted to see representatives of the International Red Cross, known as the I.C.R.C.
It was permissible, the document said, for some long-term detainees to have “No access. No contact of any kind with the I.C.R.C.”
God damn fucking inhuman, and a WAR CRIME!!!!!!!
Some legal experts and advocates for detainees said yesterday that the policy might have violated international law, which provides for such monitoring to assure humanitarian treatment and to limit the ability of governments to hold detainees secretly.
It SURE AS HELL DOES!!!
This fucking god-damned Bush should be IMPEACHED, CONVICTED, and then THROWN INTO GITMO HIMSELF!!!
TRY AND CONVICT GEORGE W. BUSH, the fucking MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!
The document, a two-inch-thick operations manual, was first posted on Wikileaks, a Web site that encourages posting of leaked materials. Military officials said that the manual appeared genuine but described outdated policies and that all Guantánamo detainees could now see Red Cross monitors. In response to critics’ assertions that the detention camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, may have violated international law, a spokesman, Lt. Col. Edward M. Bush III, said, “I am in no position to speculate about what happened in 2003.”
The manual is a detailed directive of standard operating procedures at Guantánamo intended for use by the hundreds of people involved in running the detention camp. It provides one of the most complete portraits of the rules of the camp in its early days, when it was a largely closed place where detainees were not publicly identified.
In some instances, the manual echoed the arguments then being advanced by Washington officials as they fended off criticism of Guantánamo. The manual described point-by-point instructions for many camp procedures, including feeding and restraining detainees, and forced extraction of inmates from their cells by military troops. It said a major goal was to foster detainees’ dependence on their interrogators, in part by isolating them. In a section labeled “psychological deterrence,” the manual said military working dogs should be walked in the camp “to demonstrate physical presence to detainees.”
This is shaming to this country!
The U.S.A should be FUCKING EMBARRASSED about this sort of thing.
What a shithole nation!
The spokesman, Colonel Bush, said yesterday that dogs were no longer used at the detention camp.
Like I'd believe this shithole torturer!
Some international law experts said yesterday that they were startled that military officials had put in writing a policy of denying the Red Cross access to prisoners.
WORSE than the NAZIS, folks!
You FUCKIN' PROUD, Amurkns!!???
Richard J. Wilson, a law professor at American University who was until recently a lawyer for a Guantánamo detainee;
“The world recognizes that the I.C.R.C. should get access [to prison camps]."
But our asshole dictator is above the law! Sig Heil!
Deborah N. Pearlstein, a visiting scholar at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, said international principles were aimed at preventing governments from “disappearing” opponents:
“I.C.R.C. access and the obligation to record and account for detainees is very clear under international law."
So INTERNATIONAL LAW was broken! WTF?
Where is the Congress? Where is the U.N. on this? WTF?
Our asshole fuhrer above the world's law, huh?
Well it is time to GET RID of HIM!
Colonel Bush, the military spokesman:
“All I can tell you is what we do today. And the absolute policy now, today, is that the I.C.R.C. is granted access to everything."
I don't believe you, liar!
