Try, the codemnation of pre-emptive force in the name of our security making our world more dangerous.

It is more than just detainees.

that makes more sense, the BBC article really didn't make much of a case against the US.

Probing prisoners with chemical lights, beating them, forcing them to masterbate, making them walk while covered in shit, forcing them to eat out of toliets, forcing them to denounce Islam, piling them up in naked pryamids..even homicide.......thats not major abuse?

I still don't think this was a "US policy"
I think it was a few sick people trying to have what they saw as "a good time" and what the rest of us see as, someone should shoot these sick bastards.

it doesn't matter if it was our policy (although that's still up in the air) the actions troops take are still the countries responsibility.

So the same few people have been the subject of every single investigation in every single location? I don't think so.

It probably is US Policy, there is evidence that intellegence officers were involved.
