US torture at Guantanamo 'increasingly repressive'

The Red Cross has accused President George Bush's administration of
overseeing the intentional physical and psychological torture of
prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay. It also accused doctors and medics
of liaising with interrogators in what was a "flagrant violation of
medical ethics".
In an extraordinary confidential report to the US authorities, the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the military
guards and interrogators at the prison deliberately used psychological
and physical coercion that was "tantamount to torture". It said the
treatment it had witnessed had been increasingly "refined and
repressive".
