POPSLawyer Says Gitmo Abuse Has Worsened The piece goes on: "According to my clients, there has been a ramping up in abuse since President Obama was inaugurated," said Ghappour, a British-American lawyer with Reprieve, a legal charity that represents 31 detainees at Guantanamo. "If one was to use one's imagination, (one) could say that these traumatized, and for lack of a better word barbaric, guards were just basically trying to get their kicks in right now for fear that they won't be able to later," he said. How do you stop this and make sure it never happens again? Prosecute these thugs, something Obama seems unwilling to do .

POPSMilitary judge says detainee was tortured While I welcome the decision of a judge who will call it like he sees it in spite of constant and documented pressure from the Pentagon, I question the absence of things that were not said. Mainly, if a threat is sufficient to constitute torture, how is the gauntlet of abuse detainees are subjected to by Gitmo interrogators not considered torture?
