The BBC reports
Investigators from the United Nations have accused the US of stalling over their repeated requests to visit detainees at Guantanamo Bay.The UN says it has evidence that torture has taken at the prison amid reports that 520 inmates have had mental breakdowns.
The UN said for over a year there had been no response to its requests to check on the condition of detainees.
The Department of Defense told BBC News the UN request is being considered.
Thank god it's only torture and not WMD, 'cuz you know then the US would lay the smack down about the UN not being aggressive enough in its inspections, and invade ... the... uh... US base in Cuba?
OK, so, honestly -- was the guy we found in the spider hole just a fall-guy replacement for Saddam, and the real Saddam is now a top presidential advisor?
| Things we don't like Iraq for | Things we do ourselves |
|---|---|
| Build/own WMD | Best stockpile of chemical and nuclear WMD |
| Rule with fear | Use fear to implement policies destorying civil liberties |
| Avoid UN inspections | Avoid UN inspections |
| Use torture against enemies of the state | Use torture against 'illegal enemy combatants' |
| Invade smaller countries to sieze their oil assets | Invade Iraq and set up shop |
I'm sure this could go on for a while...
