Who is it that are making the claims? It makes a big difference, especially where they are situated now in terms of this being an empty accusation. It wouldn't hurt to send in an inquiry of some sort but a full out investigation of a few former prisoners without evidence isn't enough. If the inquiry reveals a real possibility of these allegations being true then yes, there should be an all out accounting for those responsible of this torture.

Reminds me of some good old torture (think it was a Spanish prison?) in a episode of faces of death. If it really goes down like it did there then damn...

@paracelsus: @lykopis:

What you are asking is kind of out of the range of discipline since in the bye laws of Gitmo's creation it exempts the facility from any oversight and discipline as such, especially the Department of Justice. I heard once that the Supreme Court couldnt touch Gitmo

The creation of Gitmo and refusal to move Gitmo off Cuba has its reasons. Its pretty much falls under the CIAs Bright Light classification. I hear Gitmo is on par with Camp 7, a CIA prison of Black Ops value prison. I always said Camp 7 is probably some converted oil tanker always floating in International waters so there would be no chance of escape even if you could escape the detention cuz you wouldnt know where you are and wouldnt know which way to swim. Thats just an assumption though on my part

just type "allegations of medical torture at Gitmo" into a search engine and look at the results- considering the fact that the US tried and executed Germans and Japanese after WWII for engaging in not dissimilar medical experiments, I think this deserves to be looked at seriously to put it mildly!
