Ex-detainee says suicide attempts were commonplace

Jailers at the US base in Guantánamo Bay have coerced confessions they knew to be false, beaten prisoners to the point of disability, and given detainees psychotropic drugs they believed were for common physical ailments, according to an account one former detainee gave RAW STORY.

The story of the Tipton Three, three young English citizens captured by an Afghan warlord and transferred to Guantánamo, has been documented in international newspaper interviews, a successful lawsuit against the US government and in the upcoming film, The Road to Guantánamo. One of the detainees, Ruhal Ahmed, spoke to RAW STORY earlier this week.

As Ahmed tries to return to his former life in West Midlands, England, he says there remains much to be learned from his time as an "enemy combatant" held prisoner by the United States.

A lot of people should be in jail for what they have done and are doing in Guantanamo.

The military welcomes them. To beat up, torture and kill. And many in the military that are sick & disturbed enjoying doing it, it's fun to them and they get together and laugh about it, its why some are there and sign up, for some criminals the army beats going to prison.

The US military loves it gives them a much desired, mean tough image & reputation, don't fuck with us were killers!

That's what republicans, BushCo and sadist love, war & imperialism, that's what they live for and truly believe life is all about, makes it all worth living for....Sick republican bastards!!
