Cheney/Bush and torture - now it's sensory deprivation

I wonder what they expect to get out of the prisoners now ...
BBC NEWS | Americas | Guantanamo conditions 'worsening': "

... The report, published on Thursday, said about 300 detainees are now being held at a new facility - known as Camp 5, Camp 6 and Camp Echo - comparable to 'super-max' high security units in the US.

The group said the facility had 'created even harsher and apparently more permanent conditions of extreme isolation and sensory deprivation'.

It said the detainees were reportedly confined to windowless cells for 22 hours a day, only allowed to exercise at night and could go for days without seeing daylight...
Smells like revenge.

  1. THE MEOWS IN THE MEWS

    The taste is for inflicting pain
    From which right-thinking souls refrain,
    But, as the cohort will explain,
    It must be done, "or else no gain."

    Succinctly thus the hostile crew
    Itself expresses; but the view
    Terror and hatred only do
    To counter terror, is not new.

    (You thought Christ put the lie to rest,
    But, as it seems, he knew not best--
    So words of Neocons suggest
    As keep him in the tomb cold pressed.)

    Regardless the efficacy
    Or not, their way is not for me:
    I will not torture, neither be
    A party to their villainy.

    Aggressive war I must denounce,
    And with each syllable pronounce
    My opposition; though they trounce
    Dissent, of truth they have no ounce.

    (A body lain before a tank
    May be profane with none to thank,
    But though ´tis slain while keeping rank
    Let heaven´s blessing prove no prank.)

    This is Rat´s Alley
    Dingy and smelly;
    The cat O´Malley
    Scratches his belly.
