This is a very powerful article about how prisoners in Guantanamo are being treated by there American captures. Americans are taking large sums of money for terrorist suspects who in the end, most end up being innocent. People are being held in infested jails and beaten for years before trail. He gives an example of a cameraman who was held for six years with no charges and wans beaten and starved. The author seems bias at first and you think this might not be really happening. Then he goes to say he didn't know which side to believe the inmates or the Pentagon and he has gone to find sadly that the inmates are more credible. The author goes to quote books written about the horrors in Guantanamo. The author explains all the horrors that the inmates face in jail and it is sad to think that they might even be innocent. This article really pulled at my heart because the author included real incidents that happened to real people. This made me connect with them and feel for them. This makes me sad that Americans can do things like this.
