Did U.S. Give GITMO Prisoners DRUGS To Coerce Confessions? Dozens Say "YES!"

Chalk up up another WAR CRIMES practice used by the "administration"
of your WHITE HOUSE WAR CRIMINAL.

Accounts by many since-released captives held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
contain similar descriptions of instances where drugs of unknown names
and uses were rountinely administered to prisoners to get them to
reveal secrets. Often the detainees signed false confessions just to
have the U.S. interrogators stop giving them hypodermic shots that
caused severe mental disorientation and physical pain and sickness.

Again, the illegal use of drugs to force prisoner compliance was
"cleared" by a memorandum authored by former Justice Department lawyer
John Yoo, now a university law professor.

Naturally, neither the U.S. Departments of Defense and Justice or the
Central Intelligence Agency admit any illegal treatment of war
captives.

Doubtless there's good reason for continued secrecy about everything
GITMO!

"Guantanamo Torture Records Said Lost "

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042108M.shtml

Elana Schor reports for The Guardian UK, "The former head of
interrogations at
Guantanamo Bay found that records of an al-Qaida suspect tortured at
the
prison camp were mysteriously lost by the US military, according to a
new book
by one of Britain's top human rights lawyers."

But hte CIA isn't covered by DOD regulations. And this administration loves
to outsource the War on Terrorism (tm) to private contractors. Many
interrogations are carried out by CACI, a private firm that engages in
intelligence-related activities for the executive branch.
