U.C. Davis Guantanamo Testamonials Project

I saw this on Rachel Maddow. They have gathered testamonials from (among others) Prisoners, Marines, Chaplains, Translators, FBI Agents and Guards.

From the main page:
We begin our endeavor with The Guantánamo Testimonials Project. The goals of this project are to gather testimonies of prisoner abuse in Guantánamo, to organize them in meaningful ways, to make them widely available online, and to preserve them there in perpetuity.

The strength of these testimonies is considerable. Based on them, a number of distinguished individuals and organizations have called for the closure of Guantánamo.

At CSHRA we take no position as to whether the Guantánamo prisoners are guilty or innocent. Yet we recognize that these individuals are, in either case, entitled to a set of fundamental rights (a) as individuals held during an armed conflict, (b) as prisoners in general, and (c) as ordinary human beings.

Know that I absolutely will not tolerate flaming. There are plenty of places to indulge in that. This is not one of them...
