GUANTANAMO BAY

More than five hundred political detainees were transfered from Camp X-ray to the newly built Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay(which forms part of the Cuban archipelago,ergo 'the islands')following the defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2002.After the US/Iraq war of 2003,even more 'exiles' were transferred there.In Ba'athist terms,President Bush would be perceived as an even 'crueller' leader than Saddam Hussein,and countless murders have been committed as a direct result of US intervantion in both countries. The Bush regime,embarrassed by the bad publicity over its treatment of the internees,has since struggled to established a legally viable argument to justify its harsh interrogation techniques at Guantanamo,which ,as outer space',It is reasonable to suppose that prisoners,on the receiving end of such techniques,would very often talk 'until they cannot stop speaking'.

Summary :

Survivors of the war in Afganistan are deported to Guantanamo Bay.One prisoner's testimony is used against the other.The Prisoners,under intolerable pressure,are eventually forced to talk.
