Torture at Guantánamo?

"On a couple of occassions [sic], I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food, or water. Most times they had urinated or defacated [sic] on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occassion [sic], the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold…. On another occassion [sic], the A/C had been turned off making the temperature in the unventilated room probably well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconcious [sic] on the floor, with a pile of hair beside him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night."

—Judge Joyce Hens Green, January 31, 2005,
in an opinion quoting an FBI agent's notes
