I am trying to picture the expression on the torturer’s face as he took this man’s penis, the site of a person’s most intimate pleasure, literally in his hand (gloved or not gloved? flesh on flesh?) and transformed it into a hieroglyphic of humiliation, pain, fear, dread, degradation, and inhumanity. I imagine he might look something like George W. Bush squinting into the sun.

Binyam’s release is long overdue, and a testament to the diligence and pluck of his legal team. It also demonstrates the probable impossibility of bringing anyone held at Guantanamo (or elsewhere in the American gulag archipelago) for trial for anything, given that it will be virtually impossible to segregate “evidence” not derived from screaming confessions and/or accusations made during the course of torture.

And sufficeth to say, anyone who questions whether or not the USA or its allies “tortures” would be forced to acknowledge that physical mutilation, up to and including of the prisoner’s genitals, is the dictionary definition of “torture”… and for anyone stupid enough to believe that such barbarism is ever justified for any reason, you have my pity.
