Guantanamo detainee confesses to witchcraft

[schizo321]

John Lowes, a detainee at Guantanamo bay in Cuba has admitted to practicing witchcraft confessing that "he had covenanted with the devil, suckled familiars for five years, and had bewitched cattle. He had also caused a ship to sink off Harwich, on a calm sea, with the loss of fourteen lives”.

Guantanamo has drawn criticism though it`s alledged use of torture to extract information.

Sleep deprivation, the use of so-called truth drugs, beatings, locking in confined and cold cells, and being forced to maintain uncomfortable postures. One Boston agent reported that she observed two incidents that she described as, "personally very upsetting to me," of two detainees chained in a fetal position between 18 to 24 hours that had urinated and defecated on themselves.

The detainee in questions confession was extracted after sleep deprivation for three days whilst being repeatedly forced to jog up and down his cell with the occassional rest breaks.

But in my opinion how can you criticise the methods, it`s the results that are important here in this War on Heresy, sorry Terror. He`s confessed to summoning imps, Satan`s familiars, feeding them his own blood with a teat under his tongue and using them to sink ships. When you`ve got cast iron testimony like that extracted under torture, who needs proof?

Thank you. I thought it had something of a 15th century pathos about it...I guess the conquistidors set up Gitmo as a top secret Inquisitorial camp...
