The American Civil Liberties Union has just released a video of interviews with five former Guantanamo detainees, talking about their experiences of abuse in U.S. custody. It’s not easy to watch, but it’s certainly worthwhile.
Although the video (after the jump) doesn’t give any sense of why these men in particular were seized and detained by the United States and whether any of them did anything to attract U.S. government attention, the fact that all the men were eventually released without charge suggests, at least, that the Bush administration’s claim that they were among “the worst of the worst” didn’t turn out to be true.
The video also gives a strong sense of how and why the Guantanamo detention center, and the treatment of the men imprisoned there, ended up being a powerful recruiting tool for al-Qaeda.

“….ended up being a powerful recruiting tool for al-Qaeda…..”
Al Qaeda is a CIA cell. It does not exist as an entity. It was created by the US government's CIA and remains to this day a purely political tool for instilling fear. Fear, being the primary method by which the US government and those zionists running it will eventually abandon the Constitution and Bill of Rights, outlawing even dissent. The US is a rogue nation and Al Qaeda is a mythical boogeyman.
In the context of this horrendous issue and in particular this article, to even mention a connection with this imaginary government created organization lends credence to the lies and deception we've been experiencing for the last 9years. 911 was an inside job. The official story is the biggest whacko conspiracy theory around. And anyone who still believes it isn't running on all 4 wheels.
