"Guantanamo prisoner says form of waterboarding used" by Andrew O. Selsky, Associated Press | August 23, 2008
SAN JUAN - An Algerian prisoner at Guantanamo Bay has accused his guards of using a form of waterboarding on him, his lawyer said yesterday, marking the first allegation that the harsh interrogation technique was used at the US military base.
A human rights commission of the Organization of American States said yesterday that it has asked the State Department to ensure that Djamel Ameziane is not mistreated and receives medical care.
This must be serious for a weak, Latin American tool of an organization challenges the U.S.!
Maybe there will be war crimes trials for Bush someday.
Ameziane, who has been imprisoned at Guantanamo since February 2002 without being charged with crimes, told his lawyer, Wells Dixon, that guards at the base placed a water hose between his nose and mouth and ran it for several minutes.
According to Ameziane's account, during the same alleged incident the guards applied pepper spray all over his body, hosed him down, and left him shackled and shivering in wet clothes in front of an air conditioner in an interrogation room.
