Shocking Allegations of Continuing Torture at Guantanamo


If true, allegations from a variety of sources depict a betrayal of principles by the Obama administration by continuing to permit brutal torture at Guantanamo. Torture is said to continue, in spite of President Obama's assurances that it would end under his leadership.

A series of reports of regular beatings, heads being flushed down toilets, feces in the faces of prisoners, urination on prisoners and pain to the testicles by guards at Gitmo is being circulated widely, but not in the mainstream media. Perhaps this is because it is hard to believe that such harsh treatment continues in the face of such presidental commitments.

Jeremy Scahill, one of the most vocal critics of the alleged current inhumanity, is outspoken and unequivocal in his extremely passionate condemnation. But Scakill is not alone. There appear to be too many other sources of abuse to be the rantings of one wild-eyed liberal. See seven different news sources plus a Jeremy Scahill video below.
