Hundreds of videotapes that federal prison officials had claimed were destroyed show that foreign nationals held at a New York detention facility after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were victims of physical and verbal abuse by guards, the Justice Department's inspector general said yesterday."

1. I wonder what James Yee went through at Guantanamo

He has every right to sue the US government.

2. So since they would have to produce evidence that he was a traitor,

they just completely forgot about that. Now they are charging him with downloading pornography from a government computer and adultery. A West Point grad, who converted to Islam and is a member of a racial minority. How low can this administration get?

And they think we don't notice. We notice, all right, and we are OUTRAGED!!

3. one big question

Why did it take TWO YEARS for these tapes to surface? I mean, really, what the hell????

4. I'm not surprised by anything that they do anymore

It has gotten to the point that someone makes an outrageous claim and the first thought that pops into my head is that "I wouldn't put it past them." Unfortunately, many of these allegations, like this one, turn out to be true.
