The Guant=E1namo abuses wouldn't stop were Donald Rumsfeld to go -
politicians must be made accountable in other ways

If the war on terror is a plan to preserve and promote the values of
the civilised world against barbarism, then nobody told Mohammed
al-Kahtani. Since Kahtani has been incarcerated in Guant=E1namo Bay, he
has been stripped naked and straddled by a taunting female guard, made
to wear knickers on his head and a bra, and told that his mother was a
*****. He has been shaved, held on a leash and forced to bark like a
dog, put in isolation for five months in a cell continuously flooded
with artificial light, deprived of heat, treated to a fake kidnapping
and pumped with large quantities of intravenous liquids without access
to a toilet so that he urinated on himself.
