Behind the Scenes at Gitmo

Posted on Jun 30, 2006

From ABC News

ABC News gets an extremely rare (maybe unprecedented) look at the inside of Guantanamo Bay. Watch it.

The head interrogator denies all use of torture, and even refers to his interrogations as “custodial interviews.”

The room pictured to the right—which has a plush lazy chair—is supposedly one of the interrogation rooms.

This sugar-coated look at Gitmo feels sort of like the tours of North Korea that Westerners sometimes get.

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.
