Torture evidence being hidden from President Obama

[Xiahou]

So it was a letter from the detainee? My understanding was the all detainee communications leaving the camp was screened. Obama has the authority to learn everything he wants to about these matters and if he doesn't, it's by his own decision.

The Obama administration seems intent on keeping the state secrets policy of the Bush administration, contrary to campaign promises and much to the chagrin of the ACLU. I love the attempts to let Obama off the hook as not knowing anything about it, but that just doesn't fly once you're president.

A man who has been shipped by "rendition" to some of the nastiest regimes in the world for torture described in the letter to President Obama as "mediaeval".

Are any of his claims substantiated by anything aside from his own statements? I'm highly skeptical of many of his claims, like going to Afghanistan -opium capitol of the world- to beat his drug problem. He was held for most of his time at Gitmo in the super-maximum security section. Only a small minority of the total population was put there, and it wasn't for being model citizens....
