    Default Channel 4 - Road to Guantanamo

    Any other UK orgahs watch this?

    Road to Guantanamo Programme to download - It's about an hour long.

    I reccommend it to all. It is the account of the three british detainees. There story of what they were doing in Afghanistan, there capture and their stay at camp x-ray.

    It is the banality of most of the details that convinces me of it's authenticity. The determination of the US intelligence people to pin something on them just gets laughable were it not so brutal.

    Of course there are many who without evening seeing it know that it is propaganda and untrue. And for you people I reccommend that you don't watch it. Either that or wait until one of your favourite commentators dissects it for you so you can cut and paste their views here. I feel that it will be subject to the detail by detail overload attack so favoured by certain quarters.

    The brutality of the place is truely disgusting. Are these people going to be detained without legal recourse for ever?

    Care to post the link of the detainees that don't want to leave because they're afraid to go home? Just for balance of course.

    Never mind, I'll take the initiative:

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    It seems that all of the techniques, if they were in fact representive in the show, elicit all of the same reactions that would be there if the person were actually being beaten up. Really, it's no different than torture because of this.

    Yes, yes it's quite different from torture. You don't interrogate someone by saying please and offering candy. I'm truly surprised by people that think these barbarians should be treated humanely. Do you favor the same type of treatment for all thugs and rapists? Or maybe you favor a kindler, gentler style of war.
