i've been listening to l.b.c. radio a lot recently and there was a phone in on this. some of the views were really scary, i.e. it doesn't matter if this kind of treatment is illegal or not, 'they' don't deserve anything else.... one bloke even suggested that anyone here complaining about treatment given to the prisoners would rather they be "flown to the uk at taxpayer' expense, given council homes and loads of free money"..... rational debate is hard to come by but yeah, we (the uk) aren't exactly making great strides for human rights here either.....
[edited to add:] just been reading about the prisoners suffering sensory deprivation. reminded me of the treatment dished out to the ira birmingham bombing suspects in the 70s. you know, the ones that hadn't been tried at that time and who were released a few years back because they were not guilty. we don't seem to have come much further since then.
