Do you disagree with this? As far as I know the grounds for putting people in there were not good, and the torture that occurred in there was brutal, in fact it was so brutal that many prisoners tried to commit suicide. Would you commit suicide if I cut off your legs and arms? Probably not. Apparently these prisoners thought that what was happening to them was worse than cutting off their legs and arms. Can you name a prison that is worse? Yeah, Auswitz, for example, but that's not a very high standard to compare to is it?

Right my point was it does say something about the general sanity of the justice system for "terrorists"/"enemies of the US". I can certainly see how this guy could get the label "enemy of the US" and get a very harsh sentence.
You still didn't back up your claims.
