Durbin is right Gitmo is as bad as the KGB Lubyanka.
Some disgusting freep chortled that the soviets didn't torture with airconditioners...
"The beaky bespectacled Krestinsky stunned the court on the first day by withdrawing his plea of guilty: but he recanted the next morning, reportedly after spending the night in a cell heated to a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit by four great arc lamps while being forced to drink glasses of salty water and look at pictures of worse tortures."-Piers Brendon The Dark Valley pg 571.
...no trolls and freep, the US is using the same torture methods as the KGB. The evidence is conclusive.
The account compares well with the FBI report on Gitmo.
"On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more.
On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold.. . .
On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night.
On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor."
Durbin was right on the money here. Historical evidence shows that the torture at Gitmo is identical to the torture at the Lubyanka. If you have any other accounts of torture using heat or cold please post them below. then we have a data base for attacking the Republican Torture Party .
