If Cuba is a signee of the Geneva Convention then Article 27 Paragraph 1
states that the prisoners should be protected from public curiosity. Is this
Cuba's responsibility or America,s. It is definitely someones. Where these
pictures not in contradiction to the Geneva convention.

There is no evidence to suggest that America has tortured or mamed there
prisoners. If they where torturing them then yes it needs to stop.

It makes me sleep easier knowing America is taking terrorism by the horns
rather than denying its existence as was the case before 09-11. The Firemen
who done so much on that day are also the Irish American blood that used to
pay for the IRA. Its all very fscked up and the further I look at it the
more stark realisation slaps my face with my own innocence.
