Guantanamo Prison s True Secret

Angola 3 News, Truthout: ''[T]he truth is 'much more mundane' than 'some huge national security secret.... It s about cruelty, incompetence, embarrassment ... But above all, it s about the torture, abuse, coercion and bribery that was in Guantanamo. There was a house of cards of evidence built out of nothing except the testimony of prisoners and their fellow prisoners, who were abused or persuaded in other ways to produce what masquerades as the evidence. That s the true secret.''

UN Special Rapporteur ''Looking Into'' Guantanamo ''Suicides''

Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: ''Earlier this month, Christof Heyns, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, responded to an inquiry by this reporter regarding new information on the deaths of two Guantanamo prisoners, Abdul Rahman Al Amri and Mohammad Salih Al Hanashi. According to the Department of Defense (DoD), both prisoners died of suicide in 2007 and 2009, respectively. But new details surrounding their deaths, first reported by Truthout March 1, challenged government accounts concerning what happened.''
