This post will raise some interesting questions for you because the information that I read when I did the research was very interesting indeed. It involves the case of Binyam Mohamed who is an ex Guantanimo Bay detainee.
Mr Mohamed had alleged that he was tortured while he was in captivity, beaten, psychologically abused, and even had his genitals cut with a scapel.
Well it turns out that according to classified documents released by the British government there is some truth to the matter. The documents show that Mr Mohamed was indeed subjected to torture and cruel treatment while in captivity but I do not know to what extent or by which government.
It seems that the US and British governments knew what was happening whether they were the ones administering the punishment or not I don’t know. The thing that is a kicker to me is the fact that he was released without charges. Obviously he was innocent. To be honest the thought of a terrorist being thumped on doesn’t bother me but an innocent man should not be subjected to this type of treatment.
Now my custom military ring customers the question that I put to you is this. How do you know who is the enemy? I don’t have any sympathy for people who maim and torture innocents but I take exception to torturing people on just a whim of suspicion.
I do not condone torture my military ring customers but how do you stop terrorists plans to kill innocents if you are not able to do whatever you have to do to get information from them? This is very shaky ground that we are walking on here. Nothing gives any government the right to abuse the lives of innocent people.
