Interview With A Gitmo Interrogator

Very cool. Right Thinking Girl has an interview with an anonymous source who claims to be an interrogator at Camp X-Ray. Here is a little taste:

RTG: Okay, the report goes on to say that in “most times” the detainees have urinated or defecated on themselves and left for 18-24 hours or more. How accurate is this?

Smith: Patently false. We donÂ’t leave them unattended for that long. If they defecate or urinate, well, we canÂ’t be held responsible for that. If it comes to our attention, we let them take care of that and clean themselves up. I would also like to note that they do get regular bathroom breaks. They are also given some exercise, and their health is constantly monitored.

Hat tip to Jeff at Shape of Days.

1 I had a few thoughts on that interview. Yowling from the Fencepost -- It's not torture. It's modulated discomfort. http://www.mirocat.com/2005/06/its-not-torture-its-modulated.html

2 That's that lame guy Moses. DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK. It's the lamest attempt a "fisking" I ever came across. Trust me. It'll make you cry.

3 Thanks, Oyster. I see you are supporting that "free exchange of ideas" right-wing radio speaks of so often.

4 I'd sooner shake a proctologist's hand then shake a Gitmo interrogator's hand.

5 Oh I see. So your point is that if I say don't click on that link because I think your attempt was childish, then I'm an enemy of free exchanges of ideas? If anything I've directed like minded people to your post. I'm sure there are a couple visitors here (I won't name them) that will add you to their favorites now. You should thank me.

6 Okay... thanks. BTW - Could you write in all caps? I think it would get your point across more fully and drive more traffic my way. Wow. To think I worked under the impression that there was some kind of back-and-forth debate, but you have helped me realize that I am simply taking advantage of this and RTG's blogs. That's so self-interested, I should join the Randian Objectivists. Thanks for exposing my true intentions for me. Cheers.

7 Oh god, I clicked on the link and could feel brain cells committing suicide. The idiotic drivel that passes for rhetorical discourse among the leftards is amazing. How do they remember to breathe when they're doing something else, I wonder? Moses, you're as stupid as you think you're smart, if not twice.

8 And greg, it's "than", not "then", and don't worry, nobody will ever offer you the oppotunity.

10 Pentagon sued by U.S. soldier over Gitmo beating Comment: If they're doing this to their own people, just imagine what they're doing to the Muslims. “An American soldier who was seriously beaten when he posed as a foreign detainee during a training drill at Guantanamo is suing the Pentagon for $15 million. Special Sean Baker was medically retired from the military after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in January 2003. The 38-year-old military policeman (MP) was assaulted after he volunteered to wear an orange jumpsuit and portray an uncooperative detainee. Baker said his fellow MPs, who were told that he was an unruly detainee who had assaulted an American sergeant, severely beat him -- leaving him with seizures, blackouts, headaches, insomnia and psychological problems.” http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/gtmo_pentagon_sued_over_gtmo_beating.htm

11 "Baker said his fellow MPs, who were told that he was an unruly detainee who had assaulted an American sergeant, severely beat him" The guy's a moron for dressing up like a prisoner. It isn't a game. They thought he had assaulted one of theirs and he was unruly? He should have been beaten. And now he's suing the army? What a patriot.

12 YBP, He was acting accordingly to simulate an unruly prisoner. That was part of the drill that he was ordered to take part of.
