Guantanamo Bay

In class we read an interesting story of an innocent man Murat Kurnaz, detained and sold to Guantanamo for three thousand dollar. Its quite a story, very harsh. The abuse this man took for years is outstanding. There are not to many men that can take the beating the drowning, the electric shocks and the hanging by the arms the way he did. A tourist, the day he was going back home to Germany was detained at a check stop in Pakistan apparently he was detained because of the way he looked pretty much. Transferred and sold to Guantanamo all because they thought he was a spy of some sort. The way he describes his experience is crazy. He saw with his own eyes the cruelty of Guantanamo's soldier towards its inmates. He saw a man beat to death blood all over, and the soldiers didnt even move the body for days, Murat could see the body how it lied there for days. I ask myself if these soldiers that are at Guantanamo have any remorse for what they have done or what they will do!?

Though im not saying that all inmates in Guantanamo are innocent, i bet there are a lot of inmates that are "evil" and are terrorist and the world might be better offff without them. But cruelty these soldiers show to the inmates, no man deserves that, not even how bad or evil or what they have done in their past, torture is never the answer.
