  from urlLink Ut Unum Sint : Anti-religious psychological torture at Guantanamo ... urlLink Jamal al-Harith , one of the Britons released from Guantanamo this week, is interviewed in the Mirror. Jamal's most shocking disclosure centred on the use of vice girls to torment the most religiously devout detainees. Prisoners who had never seen an 'unveiled' woman before would be forced to watch as the hookers touched their own naked bodies. The men would return distraught. One said an American girl had smeared menstrual blood across his face in an act of humiliation. Jamal said: 'I knew of this happening about 10 times. It always seemed to be those who were very young or known to be particularly religious who would be taken away. 'I would joke with the other British lads, 'Bring them to us - we'll have them'. It made us laugh.
But the Americans obviously knew we wouldn't be shocked by seeing Western women, so they didn't bother. 'It was a profoundly disturbing experience for these men. They would refuse to speak about what had happened. It would take perhaps four weeks for them to tell a friend - and we would shout it out around the whole block. ' If this is true ... one can understand why American Muslim soldiers would be sympathetic toward the prisoners.
If this is true ... it is an outrage against all religions. If this is true, and the other charges of torture ... I daresay we have lost whatever moral legitimacy we may once have been able to claim. More importantly, we have lost the war itself--if the war is seen as fundamentally a war of ideas and principles. This demands an immediate investigation.
