So according to some Abers it has been confirmed that he was tortured, so let look at the evidence, and I use extracts from Mikey's BBC link.
/// Since 2007 Mr Aamer, who claims he was
tortured, ///
/// where his lawyers say he was tortured. They say he made false confessions to end his torture. ///
/// In February 2002 Mr Aamer was transferred to Guantanamo Bay, where his lawyers say he suffered further abuse. ///
So to summarise, since Mr Aamer's lawyers weren't by his side 24/7, we can only take Mr Aamers word for it.
Pretty conclusive don't you think?

Conservative MP David Davis during the the Parliamentary debate about Aamer
// I am not necessarily sympathetic if there is any question of guilt on the part of the people picked up. However, what strikes me about this case is that the US was offering $5,000 ransoms or rewards, and it is too easy to forget that in Afghanistan at that time, $5,000 would have been equivalent to hundreds of thousands of pounds in this country. When it was a poor village that handed him over, I will not say that I do not blame them — I do — but it could be seen as understandable. What that does, however, is to call into extreme question any suggestion of Shaker Aamer’s guilt. //

Do you have a problem taking an opposing position in a debate without being rude to the people who don't agree with you?
It's against the spirit of the AB, and it does contravene Site Rules.

Perhaps you should copy this, and then paste it, so as to address some of your Left of Centre comrade's more ruder comments, just in the interest of equality you understand?
