Torture of children & other human beings in U.S. Gulags

Apparently, children are being tortured at Guantanamo Bay.

This reminds me of the reports regarding children who were sodomized at Abu Ghraib.

The reports comport with comments that atrocities are being committed against adults on the UK colony of Diego Garcia, which is run as a U.S. naval and military base and concentration camp in the Indian Ocean. Activities there have been described by FBI director Robert Mueller as follows, that the techniques used there by CIA interrogators "violate all American anti-torture laws and would be prohibited in criminal cases of the most serious kind".

Anyone who doubts that the U.S. War OF Terror prison system compares with a Gulag, should read here about how Solzhenitsyn described torture and prisoner treatment in Soviet gulags, and compare it to these statements (one) (two) (three) on American gulags.

And, like their Soviet predecessors, the American torturers threaten to send some of their victims to places even worse, through the process of extraordinary rendition.

(Thanks to Tom at This Modern World for the Solzhenitsyn tip).
