Three Scenes From a Detention Camp:
In honor of the Bush administration's seeming reversal of policy on detainees and the Geneva Conventions, as well as a deep appreciation of California Republican Duncan Hunter, chair of the House Armed Service committee, who says that detainees have been treated in too lax a fashion, here's some excerpts from the report by the Center for Constitutional Rights on what the detainees and others say happens to prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. In poetic form:

Mopping Up
First they cuffed him with his arms in front
of his legs. After approximately half an hour they cuffed him
with his arms behind his legs. After another half hour they forced him
onto his knees, and cuffed his hands
behind his legs. Later still, they forced him on his stomach,
bent his knees, and cuffed his hands and feet together.
At some point, O.K. urinated on the floor and on himself.

Military Police poured pine oil on the floor and on O.K.,
and then, with O.K. lying on his stomach and his hands and feet
cuffed together behind him, the Military Police dragged him
back and forth through the mixture of urine and pine oil
on the floor. Later, O.K. was put back in his cell,
without being allowed
a shower
or change of clothes.
He was not given a change of clothes for two days.
