Gitmo Treatment


A Washington Post article on the recently leaked memo/manual on how to treat Gitmo Detainees.

Now Online, a Guide to Detainee Treatment
The manual discusses the facility's "behavior management plan" for the first two weeks after a detainee's arrival, when he has no access to the International Committee of the Red Cross or a chaplain: "The purpose of the Behavior Management Plan is to enhance and exploit the disorientation and disorganization felt by a newly arrived detainee in the interrogation process," the manual says. "It concentrates on isolating the detainee and fostering dependence of the detainee on his interrogator."

Its hard to read this stuff, but its necessary. This is what we have.
