The Role of Culture in Torture and its Absence in Guantanamo’s Medical Care System

The Role of Culture in Torture and its Absence in Guantanamo’s Medical Care System via @YumnaRizvi

MY SAY: I resent your implication that the medical care given to unlawful combatant Islamists who want to kill us, held at the US military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay (#Gitmo), Cuba, was/is somehow inadequate. Detainees enjoy FREE, WORLD CLASS medical, dental and eye care. ICRC physicians I worked with at Gitmo in early 2002, told me, "No one does [detention operations] better than the US." My book, "Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay: A Memoir of a Citizen Warrior," details the extreme effort made to keep detainees fit and healthy, and to attend to their every wellness need. Stop conflating their treatment by Alphabet Soup Secret Squirrel Shadow Warrior Spooks (who used rendition and EIT+) and their care from professional, dedicated and expert military medical personnel. Thank you.
