What a shocker. Not.
Gitmo detainees treated humanely, U.S. report says
From Barbara Starr
CNN Pentagon Correspondent
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new Defense Department report concludes that the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, treats detainees humanely, to a department official with knowledge of the report.
The conclusion comes in a Pentagon report prepared for President Obama, who has ordered the closing of the facility within a year. The Defense Department review also recommends that high- value and violent detainees be allowed to pray and have recreation time in groups of three, the official said.
The official declined to speak on the record because the report has not yet been delivered to the White House or publicly released.
Separately, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday a formal structure for deciding what to do with detainees held at the military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay.
Holder said the Justice Department's point man on counterterrorism, Matthew Olsen, will lead a multiagency detainee review task force, which will be responsible for making final recommendations to a senior review panel.
"The task force will consider whether it is possible to transfer or release detained individuals consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States," a Justice Department statement said.
Several detainees have claimed in court documents that they were tortured and subjected to inhumane treatment in the military prison at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay.
Most of the complaints concern the early years of the facility, after then-President Bush determined that "minimum standards for humane treatment" spelled out in the Geneva Conventions "did not apply to al Qaeda or Taliban detainees," according to a Senate Armed Services Committee report issued in December.
Holder announced earlier this week he plans to take a firsthand look at the Gitmo military facility and will take Olsen with him on the trip.

Gitmo detainees treated humanely, U.S. report says
Hahahaha... as soon as I read your thread's subject line, before I even clicked on it, my first thought was "Huh... imagine my surprise." Then I opened your thread and saw that you said pretty much the same thing. Too funny. :)

Being that I'll bet nobody who comes to this board has ever even met someone who met someone who has spoken with federal judges and FBI agents that have personally toured gitmo and been privy to the intelligence about the detainees at gitmo, I don't expect the less enlightened of you to have any reaction but braindead musing about civil rights and torture when it comes to gitmo.
The facility is 10X better than any American prison and IMO the detainees have too many rights. Do some investigating and try using a source other than a former detainee who was allegedly tortured or Keith Olbermann or that hideous dyke Rachel Madoff.
