Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Watched a show last nite on the sundance channel.. Torture a British one hour show based on the conditions at Gitmo now..while i've read deeply into this, and seen other documentaries and the like... last nite's show was just intense... they took 7 volunteers and basically treated them as if they were in Gitmo, except they were only in for 48 hrs, and didn't get the more harsh treatments such as water boarding... afterwards tho i've thought it for a long time now, it is beyond shameful that i reside in this nation we are setting ourselves up for the biggest fall... As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Fraggle It is terrible, and very frightening and depressing. It makes us feel so helpless. There are UK soldiers being tried for terrible vicious abuse of people and I bet they get off with it. I have the William O Douglas quote on my desk at work.
