What next?

[Billy Reid S]

I have just read an article on BT Yahoo about a so called British citizen a Mr Tareq Dergoul who is suing the British Goverment for allowing the Americans who captured him in Afghanistan in 2001 to interrogate him. His lawyer (get this) Ms Louise Christian is suing the Attorney General because while he was in Guantanamo Bay he was interrrogated by British officials who did nothing about his situation. If he wins this, he will no doubt be asking for his social security payments he didn't get whilst in captivity, Or even for when he was in
Afghanistan. Of course, he does insist he isn't a terrorist.

Jake, Vic
Who has said he was tortured? If you had read the article
you would have read that only him and his brief.
Now somehow I dont think his brief would have been there
so, that leaves just him, right???
He's after as much compensation as he can get, fact, so is his brief, money makes liars of many men (and women)
All the prisoners released from Guantanamo have been tortured, accordin to them. I cannot ever remember
seeing or hearing anything to the contrary.
I would like to know if you have heard or read of positive proof of the supposed torture.

He says this:

They tied him up and kicked and punched him, pepper sprayed his eyes.

So called "stress positions", sleep depravation and exposure to heat and cold.

Did you base your outrage on BT yahoo without looking any deeper?

No I am not a missionary - though I don't see what that has to do with the argument.

Do you think people have been tortured in Guantanamo? Or do you think it was a holiday camp with tvs and playstations?

Just in case you are interested in what did happen at Guantanomo, maybe you could do a bit of reading:

Jake! I dont do outrage, only annoyance, I have done my stint for this country and when I see scum like this guy
with his smart mouthed brief trying to sue the goverment
I think I have the right to be annoyed. It wouldn't surprise me
if Dusky Bin Ladin had put him up to it.
I am off on holiday tonight for a couple of weeks so if you want to continue the debate it wii have to be when I get back. Meanwhile! you and Vic tell me what you think this
guy was doing in Afghanistan in 2001, take off the blinkers and think???
