U.N. Experts Say They Have Reliable Accounts of Torture at Guantanamo
by Bradley S. Klapper

GENEVA - U.N. human rights experts said Thursday they have reliable accounts of detainees being tortured at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The experts also said Washington had not responded to their latest request to check on the conditions of terror suspects at the facility in eastern Cuba. That request was made in April.

U.S. officials so far have allowed only the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Guantanamo detainees. The U.N. human rights investigators have been trying to visit since 2002.

The ICRC keeps its findings confidential, reporting them solely to the detaining power, although some of the reports have been leaked by what the ICRC says were third parties.

It must be shut down.

Yes, it must. And every vote for George Bush or anyone who is in that gang that supported or promoted this illegal occupation on Iraq must be shut down politically, to my opinion.

The American people are fed up with this administration's abuse of power and disrespect to our allies and the rest of the world while our homeland is steady going down the tubes.

Thank you suswah for your response.
